  1. 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.

  2. Edit User Access permissions - View Options Needed

    It would be great to see the following enhancements made to the Edit User Access permissions section of the User page; specifically the 'Select folders this user can access' section:
    1) Allow for columns to be Expanded to see the entire folder name
    2) Include a sort option to these columns in order to sort by folder name, owner, file size, or Access level.

  5. Access Control Restrictions by user

    As a administrator, I would like the ability to turn off certain Access Control Restrictions across all collaborators vs. limiting it to specific collaborator roles.

    Example:
    Download / Print Restrictions.

    we would still like users to leverage the app but, not allow them to download/print to their mobile device. Yes, the app function can be disable enterprise-wide but, we want to limit it to a specific function within the mobile app regardless of their collaborator role.

  6. Display Notification for Blocked Uploads to Uploading User

    When creating your own Content Security policies for uploads it would be really helpful to be able to create a notification that would be displayed to an uploading user. The notification would be able to be configured by an admin user to explain the reason for why a file upload was prevented.

    Without these types of notifications we have users who may upload files and then needless work exists to find out which user uploaded a file type we do not accept to then notify the end user that the file type is not acceptable and then have…

  7. Set cookie to remember which Box enterprise the user last signed in as

    The Box web app should set a cookie in the user's browser to remember the Box account they last signed in as, and take them directly to the SSO (or Box login) page for that enterprise, without the three intermediate steps where the user has to click "Not a part of External Org?", then enter their email address, then click Next, and only then get to their SSO screen.

    This is an issue that often comes up when collaborating across enterprises.

  8. Block single user

    Our security has deemed a single email as suspicious. We would like to block this single email from connecting to our Box, or being collaborated into our Box.

    With Shield we can block the whole domain, but that approach is too broad and would limit too many valid email addresses.

  9. Functionality to clear pinned device from user's account settings

    Currently pinned devices for the device pinning functionality can be cleared by the admin console only. User should be able to do this so that user can choose which devices to use Box with without asking the Box admin every time.

  10. Update the user detail report so that the administrator can see status of the automatic acceptance of invitations

    Invitation auto-acceptance settings can be changed for each user, but may be "pending" when an admin invites a managed user to a folder.
    Please add an item so that administrators can check the setting status in the user details report whether the managed user has automatic invitation approval disabled or enabled.

    <ユーザーの詳細レポートに招待の自動承諾設定をどう設定しているかを確認できるよう項目を追加してほしい>
    招待の自動承認の設定は各ユーザーで変更できますが、管理者が管理対象ユーザーをフォルダに招待する際に「保留中」になることがあります。
    管理対象ユーザーが招待の自動承認を無効にしているのか、有効にしているのか、管理者がユーザーの詳細レポートで設定状況が確認できるよう項目を追加していただきたいです。

  11. Reports: Replace User ID in the Legal Hold Report with User's Email

    In the current Legal Hold report export (Excel file), users are referred to by their User ID (e.g., 123233124) which isn't really helpful for an admin to identify 'who' that is.

    Using email address would be a much better field to include, either replacing the User ID field OR adding in Email as an additional column.

  12. Report to indicate what was changed when a user is edited

    We use OKTA SSO for user provisioning and de-provisioning. However, we don't have a way to report on when a user's status changes from active to inactive, other than seeing the user was edited.

    As it is now, when you run a report on "User Edits" it just tells you a user was edited, but does not indicate if it was an email address change, device pinning change, made inactive, etc. Looking for some more visibility on when users are edited.

  13. Checking user activity or insight user's usage easier

    Hi,
    It would be great if it could be displayed with one click from who's iPad usage, Box admin console, or dashboard.

    And also would be great if there was an option to delete from the trash(eternity deletion) can when checking the operation items in the user activity report.
    Can be checking only "move to trash".
    And more, Usage of Annotation & Comment by user insights.

  14. If a user invites a collaborator, that they receive an error message if that email does not exist.

    Right now, if a user invites someone using an email that does not exist, it just remains in pending.

  16. A user with folder owner or co-owner privileges outputs a “Collaboration Report”.

    Currently, only administrators can output the "Collaborations Report" .

    In order to see who is collaborating, we want to allow users with folder owner or co-owner privileges can output a "Collaborations Report" for the appropriate folder.

    After save a managed user settings in Admin Console > User& Group, the user list is displayed first page, not current user list which has modified user.

  19. Please add last login date and time on the user management page

    Most cloud services offer the last login time and date when reviewing user status pages in admin. A DoD DISA requirement is to disable inactive accounts after 30 days, so it's an industry best practice. Having this information on the user list page in admin would bring Box in line with other cloud services. Thank you!

  20. User reporting or user visibility to their own content via 'my' content manager

    We want to enable our users with reporting capabilities.

    The admins use content manager heavily. We think it would be great for users to also have a high level view of their owned and shared content.

    These reports/view could include: File/folder index of folders and documents they currently own and share.
