  1. Add Box IDs to Managed Users Report

    Currently, Box IDs are not accessible from the Managed Users Report. To obtain the Box IDs, I have to use the CLI.

    Our company deprovisions Box accounts based on the Last Login date in the Managed Users Report and it would be helpful if the Managed Users Report include the Box IDs.

  2. Additional columns in User activity report

    User activity report provide events of "Approved Task" and "Rejected task"

    Currently, User activity report provide just following events:
    Assigned a task
    Updated a task assignment
    Created a task

    Therefore, administrator cannot detect events of "Approved Task" and "Rejected task" These information should be provided in the report to know when the task was approved or rejected.

  3. Distinguish FTP and FTPS in User Activity Report

    would like a way to distinguish the difference between FTP and FTPS traffic.
    The “details” column in the user activity report only shows the connection to “Box FTP Server”,
    but it doesn’t specify which protocol or port was used.

  4. Extend expiration dates to be shown in their user activity reports

    For external collaborations, it shows the date the collaboration is going to end when it's first set in the user activity to report as
    -Action: Collaboration expiration
    -Details: To: YYYY-MM-DD

    However when you extend this period, the "To: YYYY-MM-DD" isn't displayed so you don't know until when it's extended until unless you go the individual folder/file itself and look at the "clock" mark manually.
    In the report
    -Action: Extend collaborator expiration
    -Details: [Blank]

    The customer wants to have a grasp of each expiration dates so they're saying looking at each item manually on Box is impractical.
    They would like the…

  6. Prevent users to change their own permission level

    Prevent users to cange their own permission level in order to avoid "downgrading" the permission from Co-Owner to Viewer (for example) just for yourself.

    Or not allowing a user to remove himself/herself from a folder.

  7. Keep Cost Center Field populated when user invited as a Managed user

    If creating an account and you have to send the user an Invite to come over as a managed user, the Cost Center field (If filled out) will not stay after the user accepts the invite. Forcing you to have to go back and re-add info you may have already included.

    I would request that if the Cost Center field is populated on a user creation, that it remain after an invited user accepts their invite to stop double work.

  9. add the dependencies of a shared folder/file to a group

    When U share a file/folder with a group in the group sharing management into the admin console, You don't watch the dependencies and that may become a problem when you share a folder which is named as an existing one.
    To better undertand the situation:
    Imagine U have a template for a project. Every time You create a new project, You going to use the same template with the same structure. So, every time U share a folder with a group for a new project (i.e PURCHASE), U will watch a list of PURCHASE folders but no information from which…

  10. When a reset password link is requested, check your internal block list and remove the email address if necessary.

    Often we deal with users email addresses getting placed on Box's internal block list. Then a user might request a new password, but the email will never come in. In that scenario, if a user has requested a password reset email, you should check your block list for that user's email address and remove it if necessary.

  14. Flexible Account Display Name

    I want to change the display name of accounts for internal and external collaboration within my company's tenant.

    When viewing content within my company, displaying "Name-Department" makes it easier to identify individuals in a large organization.

    On the other hand, for external collaboration partners, I don't want to show the department name, but "Name-Company" can be easier to identify.

    It would be great if the display name could be customized according to each environment.

  15. Who invited a user?

    Bring back the column under Managed Users that tells you who invited a user. That easy bit of information is no longer there. Now you have to run a report that takes forever and may or may not give you the information.

  16. Disable automatic in-domain creation of Managed User account

    Currently, Box allows an unmanaged user to become a paid Managed user "automatically" if someone within the domain invites another email within the same domain. Only Co-Admins and Primary Admins should be able to authorize a paid seat. Or there should be an option in settings to turn that on ability on or off.

  18. Automatically add a Group to all existing folders of an email address

    Our department has been sharing one email address to manage Box folders. Now we want to use our individual emails and add our Group to the existing folders to maintain them. Currently we would have to select the folders individually and there are thousands so that is not realistic. It would be nice if there was a select all option for these folders to add our Group to.

  19. Proxy user ID for C-Level profiles

    For executive level users, or high public visibility folks, provide a method to suppress, or proxy their actual username. These are often tied to Single Sign On accounts, hidden at the global level, but visible in local apps, like Box. We have a workaround in creating a surrogate account, but it would be nice to simply add a proxy directly in Box to allow these individuals to log in through the normal Company Single Sign On process.

  20. Help Microsoft to Fix Entra SSO Auto-Provisioning

    We have confirmed with Microsoft a bug in Entra ID (Azure AD) SSO Auto-Provisioning, where an update of any user attribute also updates the user's Allocated Storage (a.k.a. space_amount) to Unlimited (a.k.a. a very high number). Since Microsoft offers the integration as an Enterprise Application, they need to fix this.

    In the meantime, Box should document the situation, do whatever they can to offer a workaround, and assist Microsoft to expedite the fix.

    (See also https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/saas-apps/box-tutorial & https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/saas-apps/box-userprovisioning-tutorial for context.)
