  1. Allow the tenant administrator to select the folder created by the API account as the owner.

    I want to allow the tenant administrator to select the folder created by the API account as the owner.

    Currently, when you log in as a tenant administrator, if you want to check the folders linked with Box for Teams, you cannot check all the files because you are not the owner.
    I would like to be able to select the owner of the Box folder generated in cooperation with Teams to be the tenant administrator so that management confirmation and control / log acquisition can be performed.

    ・APIアカウントで作成されたフォルダをテナント管理者も所有者と選択できるようにしたい。

    現在、テナント管理者でログインした際にBox for Teamsで連携したフォルダを確認したい場合に
    所有者でないためすべてのファイルを確認することができません。
    Teamsと連携して生成されるBoxフォルダの所有者をテナント管理者にする選択をできるようにして
    管理上確認や統制・ログの取得をおこなえるようにしたいです。

  2. Even if a group is set as Admins only, Admin wants to invite the group by selecting the folder and click share button.

    In the group settings, if Permission Settings is set to Admins Only, Admin can only add this group to collaborate on content from within the admin console. (Invite from share button does not allow Admin to select that group.)

    Even if a group is set as Admins only, Admin want to invite it by selecting the folder and specifying the group from the share button.

  3. Ability to restrict target users who can be logged in login as user by admin and co-admin

    When investigating internal fraud, for example, the login as user function may be used to log in to the user under investigation. Currently, all users can log in if they have login as user privileges.

    For example, it is possible to access management user accounts and top secret information.
    Therefore, we would like to see a function implemented to limit the target users who can log in.

  4. List of current logged in users

    It would be nice if Box could provide a list of current logged in users. If this already exists I am not aware of it. Please advise.

  5. Report on new data platform doesn't reflect latest information

    Report on new data platform doesn't reflect latest information

    To improve report performance, Box migrated legacy to new data platform on collaboration report recently. However, new one will take about 24 hours to reflect latest data into exported report. It could be harder for admin to audit new collaboration on enterprise using report feature. There are two request for this change :

    • Make sure that admin knows when the exported report is as of
    • Reflect much faster like User Detail Report which can reflect 1 hours ago

  6. Admin Console Report - Deployment Trends

    A report in the admin console that tracks licenses deployed over a set period of time (e.g. month-to-month) would be helpful for understanding deployment trends and ensuring we have purchased adequate seats for our enterprise.

  7. Reporting on Task Completion/Incompletion

    Use Case: Customer sends Approval Tasks to clients. It's challenging to view in one report which tasks have been completed and which tasks are outstanding. While this information can be gathered from the User Activity report, it's really challenging to use because that report lists: task created, task assigned and task updated as three separate entries. It's challenging to link these three lines under the same task and know which ones are still outstanding.

  8. Allow stricter control of file deletes

    We require the facility to prevent users from deleting files but allow them to Upload a new file version that has a different name to the current one. This is because our standard file name format includes our own version number. We had hoped that Viewer/Uploader permission would allow this, but it doesn't .

  10. Transfer ownership of a file

    I was blown away that I can't change the ownership of "files", only folders. We have a user that retired and we need to transfer ownership of all her content to other employees (not just a single employee). Transferring ownership of a "folder" is easy and straightforward.

    Box has a limitation that prevents you from transferring ownership of an individual file. This user has about 40 files at their root of her account (under All Files). The only way to change ownership is to move the file into a folder and then share and change the ownership of the folder.…

  11. Groups - Customizable Permission Settings

    None of the 3 permissions options - Company, Group Members, Admins Only - are ideal. Would love to have more options or perhaps a customizable setting where we can select which options to allow.

    For example, as the primary admin, I apply groups to root folders and I want anyone shared to that folder to be able to view the group members for any group collaborating on that folder. Only way to do that now would be to set the groups' permissions to "Company". However, I do not want everyone to be able to invite any group to folders, and…

  12. Run User Activity Report with API

    We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
    Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
    Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.

  13. Adding more functionality of Box Drive enhancements into the Admin Console

    My customer has deployed Box Drive out to most of their employees and it has been widely adopted across their organization. What they are now having trouble with is that there are security concerns when it comes to their employees having personal Drive accounts so they want to the functionality built in to Admin Console to force log out their users in Box Drive - as of right now many of the Admin functionality relate to Box Sync and Admins do not have the option to make changes on the Box Drive functionality

  14. Users who have permission to output reports should be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights

    Under the current specification, only administrators or authorized co-administrators can select the "target folders and files" when outputting the User Activity Report.
    For the sake of business efficiency, I would like to see users who have permission to output reports be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights.

    現在の仕様では、ユーザーアクティビティレポートを出力の際管理者または、権限の付与された共同管理者のみ「対象のフォルダとファイル」が選択可能です。
    これをレポート出力権限を持っているユーザーは、業務効率上、自分のアクセス権がある範囲の中で「対象のフォルダとファイル」を選択できるようにしてほしい。

  15. Provide Report Export Using Keywords

    When running reports on "Files and Folders", you should be able to filter based on keywords. For example, if you want to see all files and folders related to a specific software you implemented, etc.

  16. Automatic Image folder in chronological order

    As an administrator would be great to have all image files collected automatically in a single location where it would be shared easily with the team regardless of where the individual filed it. Need a global visual in chronological order.

    Include select items or all feature.

  17. Exception to password expiration rule

    There is a need to allow for specific user accounts to have a longer password expiration policy applied to them. However, Box's policy is EID-wide, which means that there has to be workarounds to deal with specific use-cases in which the user accounts require longer password expiration.

    It would be great if there could be an exception added to the user account like what Box does with device pinning. This would be an easy solution to the problem, the admin could go into the users' settings, provide their password expiration time frame as the exception.

  18. Report changes in the date of automatic deletion of folders

    Operations that set an auto-delete date for a folder will appear in the report, but operations that changed the auto-delete date is not.

    If the date is changed by someone to an earlier date than the originally set deletion date, the folder may be deleted without others being aware of the change in the deletion date.

    In that case, you need to check the change history in the report to know which user made the change.
    However, we cannot know this unless the change in the automatic deletion date is output to the report.

  19. When an email address is marked as undeliverable, show that status in the console

    When your system marks an email address as undeliverable, there's currently no way to see that in the admin console. The Resend Invite button is available but the invite will never be sent because you're suppressing the address.

    In an ideal world, we'd be able to see that and toggle the status, but even if we could just see the status it would save time.

  20. Reporting on admin 'log in as' feature

    For security reasons it would be useful for Box to be able to report on all admin activity, in particular when admins use the 'log in as' feature to view a user's files, so we can see a list of which users 'logged in as' which users and when, to ensure the feature is being used appropriately.
