  1. Security Report: Include Changes to Any Setting from Enterprise Settings

    Currently, the Security Report doesn't appear to capture quite a few settings changes that happen in Enterprise Settings in the Admin console, which is bad.

    For example, if an admin is wanting to know who changed the 'save files to device' setting on the Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Mobile tab, there's no in-product way currently to identify that. Also,

    --All Notifications tab settings except for the Compliance Email Archive settings are missing
    --ALL settings from the Apps tab are missing, meaning there are no filters/logs exposed currently for any changes to make apps available/disabled, disabling all published apps,…

  2. Admin determines fixed tags for accuracy

    Give the admin the ability to create a "template" of tags to use so that end users have to follow a set model.

    I think metadata will end up being the mechanism for this.

  3. Inactive State: Do Not Hide Owned Folders for Managed User Collaborators (still hide for External Collaborators)

    Currently the 'Inactive' User Status not only prevents the user from accessing their account, it also hides ALL owned folders for all collaborators.

    Meaning if John Smith is changed to 'Inactive', all of the collaborators that are in his owned folders will no longer see those folders in their accounts.

    REQUEST: Change this status to only prevent the user from accessing their account, while keeping their owned content visible for Managed User collaborators (keeping today's behavior of hiding for External Collaborators).

    We are currently re-designing our managed users page for performance and usability updates which will be released at the end of this year. We will revisit newer features to user management after we release our new UI. In the meantime, please add your use cases in the comments so we can have this feedback when we decide to pick this up.

  4. Ability to output a list of all collaborators via API

    Currently you are not able to export external users as a list. You can only validate if a certain user is external or not.

  5. Role based permissions or more granular permissions on groups

    Ideal is a role based permission where you can select individual folders, people, and files that users have access to as well as admin permissions.

    Other option is to add more granular permissions for groups.

  7. Group-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the Group level

    This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults by Group. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a Group can generate Open Shared Links, invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated, even if users in that Group are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.

    For now, we are focussed on solving bulk management issues with Shared Links.

    Box Shield is an additional option for enforcing granular controls on content.

  8. Add ability to trigger email confirmation when adding an email alias from blacklisted domain

    Example: gmail.com is a blacklisted domain. If an admin tries to add a gmail.com alias for a managed user via the API, the call will fail with a 400 response.

  10. Managed user differentiator other than domain

    Different attribute outside of domain to determine if truly a managed user. We have different orgs that share email domains but are truly are different orgs with different budgets and approvals. Our org does not want to pay for other users that are not within our organization.

    This is not a priority at the moment given our roadmap commitments. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  12. Provide API's to Shared Link Settings

    A few business units feel very strongly that our configuration of defaults for Box accounts is not secure enough. They want the option for teams to opt in to a more securely provisioned account. As long as there are APIs for these account defaults and we are able to identify the users, we should be able to script it.

  13. Export Groups - Add an 'Export Groups' Button to Groups Summary Page & Individual Group Page

    There is currently no way for admins to export a report (xlsx) of their Groups - whether at the summary Groups level or at the individual Group level

    This is problematic for companies that have pages and pages of Groups in the Admin Console, or want to manage just one group (as the current Export Users report from the Users page - the only place any Group info IS currently exported - exports ALL users in an EID, which is overload).

    REQUEST 1: Groups Summary Export - Desired Columns:
    1 Row per Group / Mirror the Columns on the Groups

  14. Add Search Ability for Deleted Users

    To edit group settings efficiently, it's helpful that Box Admin can import/export group information for bulk edit.

    There is a clear ask for bulk operations (edit/delete/add) for user management in the Admin Console, but we are currently focusing on making our user management pages and APIs scale and perform more quickly. While this is on our radar, we are not currently prioritizing this on our near term roadmap.

    Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases.

  17. The ability to set the report name when the Export Report option on any report

    Exported reports currently write with a standard name of the report type with date and time but it is challenging when I have reports with almost similar names and the only difference is the date and time. It is confusing to ID a report when I run the same report multiple times.

    If users can specify the report name when exporting it, it would make it easier to jump to the report. I know users can rename the report but it would be a lot easier and more efficient if the report is named right from the start.

  18. Auto-Created 'All Users' Group

    Add the option to the Groups tab to have a 'smart' group that auto-adds all Managed Users - this is a commonly used practice to provide all users with a 'getting started' folder, but currently must be either managed manually or sent to Box via SAML (meaning the customer must keep the group updated in AD).

  19. Bulk Delete (Delete 2 or more users at once)

    Add a native Bulk Delete tool on the Users tab of the Admin Console to complement the existing Bulk Add and Bulk Edit tools that we already have.

    Key Asks:
    1. Use a similar Excel sheet as the Bulk Add/Bulk Edit tool
    2. Ability to have a column with the user email to be deleted
    3. A column to choose who to automatically transfer the user's content to (the spreadsheet version of the existing Delete & Transfer UI that we have)
    4. Columns to choose whether to notify each user (the user being deleted and the user receiving the deleted…

    We are not planning releasing bulk delete functionality at this time since we are focusing our efforts on building faster and more usable users pages. We will revisit this feature request next year.

  20. Prevent users from creating accounts with "/" or "\" in the username

    When users delete and transfer content in Box, a new folder will be created in the new users folder with a users username if that username include a / or \ if will throw and error. To prevent this from happening, please add restrictions in the username to prevent new accounts from being created with "/" or "\"
