  1. Augment existing collaborator permissions in inherited subfolders

    Scenario:

    Folder A is shared with User X with Viewer permission
    Folder B is a subfolder of Folder A, on which User X requires Editor permission

    According to support, the only way to accomplish this in the web UI is to first remove User X as a collaborator on Folder A, add them as an Editor on Folder B, and then re-add them as a Viewer on Folder A

    This is clunky, annoying, and results in a lot of extra notifications.

    Clearly this is supported by the underlying file system because you can do it directly with the Box CLI:

  2. Ability for users to edit user name with special characters

    Admins can update user names with the following characters: ! $ % ^ & = . + { } : ; / ? > < | ~ _ `. But users can't modify their name with those characters on the Profile screen of the user's individual Account Settings.

  3. I would like to have a collaboration role that only allows me to reference shared links.

    I would like to have a collaboration role that only allows me to reference shared links.
    Alternatives (1) through (3) could not be adopted for a reason.

    (1) Why not just use the Previewer?
    I want to collaborate from the top of the folder tree to prevent confusion about where I collaborated.
    For this purpose, I want a collaboration role that can only refer to shared links that cannot refer to other files.

    (2) Why don't we just create a shared link that is open to everyone and add a password?
    If you make it public, you won't know who…

  4. Change or delete ”People in your company” in link settings.

    In our company, not only the headquarters, but also the operating companies use Box in the same Box tenant.
    Therefore, the domains of all companies, including operating companies, are registered in Box as domains to be managed.
    However, even though we are an operating company, there is a lot of information that we do not want other group companies to see.

    The average user misunderstands the "People in your company" permission in the shared link as referring to their own company.
    However, in reality, if we select "People in your company," users from other companies will be able to view…

  5. I want to change the icon of the Box group.

    I want to change the icon of the Box group.

    Currently, it is not possible to change the icon of a group.
    However, for the following reasons, we would like to be able to change the icon so that we can identify the group in the collaboration list.

    ・To identify special groups used by system administrators.
    ・In order to avoid confusion among users, it is necessary to be able to identify the system administrator at a glance.

    【日本語】-------------------------------------------------
    現在はグループのアイコンを変更することができません。
    しかし下記理由からコラボレーション一覧で、グループの判別ができるように、アイコンの変更ができるようにしてほしいです。
    ・システム管理者が利用する特殊なグループを識別したいため。
    ・ユーザが確認するにあたり混乱を招かないよう、一見してシステム管理者として判別できるようにしたい。

  6. Enable admin settings to customize new user onboarding setup flow

    The new user onboarding displayed at https://{DOMAIN}.app.box.com/onboarding/setupflow should be customizable.

    Currently new users are guided through a one time onboarding set of screens in the web app. These are Box branded and while they personally greet the user are not otherwise configurable.

    This feature should be opt-in, easily disabled by CLI or API (e.g. show-onboarding: False), or allow for customization.

    We can currently enable the promotion of Box Mobile, Notes, etc. in the Admin Console. This would be similar to implement and appropriate on the User Settings console tab.

    Right now the final screen displays a prompt for the user…

  7. Control managed user external collaboration to webmail accounts

    Setting that allows admin of corporate instance to control/limit managed users being collaborated into personal Box webmail accounts. This would be a setting to control/limit an outside Box webmail user collaborating a corporate managed user into its personal account.

  8. Customize group admin access, Just to handle folder addition

    Currently, Group admins have more privileges over on box groups, In our environment, we have 0 group admins for all the groups we manage.

    Trying to see if we can have more customization on the roles been defined for a group admin.

    A role where they can just manage content access will really help us bring down admin control on group access.

  9. Collaborator Restriction to a folder.

    We need the ability to decide which subfolders a specific collaborator can access. Specifically, we need to restrict access of one collaborator to a subfolder (and all of its contents/subfolders). I was told this is not something Box cannot do. This is an issue. We need to set up an ethical wall in the firm. This associate needs to retain access to everything he currently can access, but legally we need to restrict his access to this matter (folder) and all it's contents.

  11. Tag permission levels

    There should be a way to customize permission level based on the tag on a case. For example, within a folder the tag "confidential" should lower the the permission level to not allow the person to download or view the item.

  14. Recommend a new permission level that is the same access as "Viewer" but the "Viewer" to share at the same level

    The sharing level of "Viewer" is beneficial to share approved documents through Duke Box. In our capacity the information in the approved document that is shared with the owner as "Viewer" should also be accessible to other individuals that the owner deems appropriate so these individuals know exactly want is approved, what is expected of them, and how to remain compliant. Because we issue the approval and maintain the final document and do not manage the owners group that needs access to the approved document, it would be very beneficial if, after the document owner gets "Viewer" permission to the…

  16. external share

    Need the ability to provide some users/groups to create external shares for a longer or indefinite period of time. If we have a long range project I have to disable to option to control how long a share stays out there - that in my opinion is a security risk.

  17. annotate

    When adding an annotation to a file, it would be nice to make it a once stop annotate and enable the person that i am @ mentioning to annotate the file and not require the owner to first extend the file through permissions, then go annotate. Annotation should be one process for sharing and extending annotation.

  18. Ability to set an expiry date for external collaborators

    It would be very helpful to secure access to our files if we were able to set an expiry date when inviting external collaborators to a folder. It seems the only option is to share a link with an expiry date, but that leaves it open for the link to be sent to others and doesn't help if a collaborator needs wider access permissions, or just flag it up as a reminder in our Outlook calendars!

  19. Allow group administrators of SSO-enabled tenants to change the email addresses of group members

    According to the information provided by following link,
    group administrators are authorised to change the email addresses of managed users.

    *
    Link:
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043692374

    Manage group member accounts:
    Edit non-admin user accounts in the Managed Users tab, including user name, email, storage, and settings.
    *
    In the case of tenants using SSO,
    only the administrator and co-administrator can change a managed user's email address.

    In this case, the group administrator cannot change the email address of the group member.

    However, in a tenant with a very large number of users,
    it is very difficult for the administrator/co-administrator to complete all the…

  20. Co-admin should be able to login to other co-admin accounts and service accounts

    Box co-admin should have the ability to log into other co-admin accounts and application services accounts to manage content. Today, you rely on using Box APIs or the primary Box admin account. It would be more convenient for coadmins to use the Box webapp instead.
