Change Unique Identifier to Something other than Email Address
This is the grouping for the common request for Box to use a unique identifier other than email address for managed users.
Key pain point with the fact that Box uses email address as the unique identifier: Email addresses change often in large companies, thus requiring these companies to use custom API scripting to keep emails in Box updated based on changes in AD.
This unique identifier (whether a mapped value from the customer's user store, aka AD, or the Box unique user ID) should also be the identifier used when users authenticate to Box using SSO (via SAML).
20 votesThis feature request isn’t currently planned on the roadmap, but we are considering the notion of user attributes that can be placed on a user and then used for better context while sharing / collaborating and searching in the Admin Console.
Please provide more use cases in the comments to help us understand the problem better.

Events API - Add Policy Name to CONTENT_WORKFLOW_UPLOAD_POLICY_VIOLATION
Currently, when an Upload Policy violation occurs, Box reports on that violation in 3 ways:
1. Email notification
2. Admin Console -> Reports tab
3. Events APIIn the email notification and admin console->reports, Box provides the policy name for which the violation is occurring. However, Box does NOT include the policy name in the Events API entry, which causes a problem when we are pulling logs (via the Events API) into external reporting/SIEM tools like ArcSight/Splunk.
Request: Add 'Policy Name' to the CONTENTWORKFLOWUPLOADPOLICYVIOLATION entry in the Events API (to reach parity with the native Admin…

This is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers. We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

Password reset email notifications to admins: Add possibility for admin to auto-reply to the affected user
When Enterprise Setting: Notify Admins when users request a password reset email is checked, any other admin will to receive a notification whenever one of their Managed users request a new password.
It would help being able to reply to the managed user from this notification in order to provide better interactivity between admin/user and control/security over the request.
0 votesThis is a reasonable request, however we do not have enough user demand to prioritize this feature. Please keep submitting your use cases!

Adjust the Get Info button to pull from the properties of a Box Link vs from the HTML Header tag information
This would be much more user friendly (and expected) for the proper data to populate when clicking Get Info if the hyperlink is a shared link.
We are mostly requesting that the folder name as a bookmark populates.
0 votesThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

It would be great to get more insight into how you are thinking about this. For example:
- Who would revalidates the user?
- Does your company have an idea on how they’d like to revalidate users?
- How often?
- What is the current workaround (if any)?
- How does this impact your use of Box today? -
Ability to pin a folder to remain at the top of the main Box Web App screen.
Either a user or an admin should be able to pin a folder.
Using favorites is the current alternative, but for usability purposes and sharing important content, pinning would be helpful as well
42 votesThank you for the suggestion. There are definitely use cases for which this would be useful, but it is not currently prioritized for this year. We will revisit this in the future.

Open Shared Link Controls: Add "Default" option for 'download' permissions on Shared Links
Example: Disable 'download' permissions on all shared links by default, but allow users to re-enable 'download' permissions on a link-by-link basis.
Allow admins to default the "Let link viewers" option in Content & Sharing in Enterprise Settings. Currently we can restrict or allow this feature, but we cannot set the default option like we can we shared link access levels.
8 votesNot currently planned at this time.

Tables - Ability to Copy a Row and Paste into a Table in A Different Box Note
Requesting ability to copy a Box Note row and paste into another Box Note table (preserving formatting and links). Currently, you can paste into a new table this way, not an existing table in our testing.
Rationale: Ease of use, consistent ability to cut and paste
21 votesWe understand this use case, however it is not a current priority for the team. We will let you know if anything changes.

Open Link ability - single access
We would like to make a link that forces a person to login (i.e. related to previous feedback submission) and then have a link expire for that person after one access (one click of the link).
0 votesThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional feedback.

Individualized shared links
We'd like to be able to send customized links to specific individuals (e.g. company.box.com/JohnDoe) to know, even though they'd normally show as "Someone has Viewed your file", that it can be tracked back to being the particular person from that link.
We'd ideally like to send that same file to 5 different prospects with 5 customized links
0 votesGreat suggestion. This is not currently prioritized since it’s a narrower use case compared to the other items on our roadmap.

This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. However, we’d like more clarity and details from the requester about this suggestion to better understand the problem and where exactly in the Admin Console this sorting is needed.

Ability to see owned vs. collaborated content
From content manager, we would like the ability to filter the content by only showing content the user is 1) an owner of and/or 2) is a co-owner of, and/or 3) is collaborated on.
When a user leaves the organization, we will disable the account for a few months. Before it is deleted, we would like to have the possibility to easily see the impact for other users if/when the content is deleted. If needed, we would then assign new owners for content collaborated on before that content is deleted.
4 votesThis functionality is on our roadmap.
Please let me know if you like to meet to talk about your use cases and provide feedback for designs.

Query-less search
Add intelligent search by location, date, etc. but the Search API requires a query. I recommended setting the query to the file extension.
