  1. Granular permissions per user for sharing public links/classified documents

    The administrator should be able to set the default classification for all new documents (e.g. For Official Use).

    Each user should be able to set their own default classification (which will override the system setting (e.g. Classified).

    Each user should be able to change the classification for any new or existing document where she has sufficient rights. For existing documents, she should also be able to select multiple documents, and then change the classification for all those documents in one go.

    Default classification label is not planned because it could be misleading to end users. However, to address the concern of content being leaked before it is classified, you can create an access policy applying to “All content without a classification label” in Box Shield.

    Dear Customers,

    In the context of this feature request, we are excited to announce that it is now also possible to selectively enable integration apps to particular managed users and groups.

     

    More information is available in our published announcement.

    We will be happy to hear your feedback, also at an upcoming Box Community Roundtable on October 24th (register here).

    Thank you,

    Box Partner Integrations Team

  4. Collaborations Report: Add User Filter (same as Usage Logs)

    Add ability to filter (like on Usage Logs) before running the report to avoid having to pull the report for all users (which takes quite a while as we know), then filter down in Excel.

    Two Key Filter-able Options:
    --Filter by Managed User
    --Filter by Folder by choosing user -> choose folder OR by searching for folder name

    The Collaborations report is basically unusable as a large company due to the size of the report that's generated -- it's not scalable for us to have to pull the report for all users and filter down in Excel.

  5. Flexible Retention Policies including ability to override existing policies if necessary

    The inflexibility of current retention policies does not allow customers to meet all of their legal obligations. Currently, if a retention policy is placed on a document, it is not possible to permanently delete the document before the retention period is completed.

    While these retention policies settings may work (and are required) for FINRA compliance, they cannot be used for all use cases. For example, if an organization reaches a legal settlement, and part of the settlement is the destruction of certain content (either one user's content or content specific to the case), this request cannot be completed.

    Introducing modifiable retention policies in Box Governance!

    Box Governance allows organizations to manage their content’s lifecycle by powering business processes with flexible retention schedules, preserving content for defensible discovery, and managing the disposition of content. From the start we built Box Governance for highly regulated industries and our existing retention policy type was intentionally designed to be non-modifiable. As Box has grown, we have seen the need to expand our retention policies and are excited to announce Box Governance now has two types of retention policies - modifiable and non-modifiable.

    Modifiable retention policies will provide flexibility as external regulatory environments or internal governance policies change. Modifiable retention policies allow customers to implement retention policies with the ability to modify them later. This will allow for both the creation and modification of policies, including shortening of retention policies, as well as making policy changes retroactively to content already under retention. For…

  6. Adjust "arrow" to forward to next document when viewing a document it conflicts with the scroll bar when viewing an existing document

    The arrow that you click to forward to the next document overlaps the scroll bar for the existing document. This impacts the ability to scroll up and down on the existing document. Please adjust the placement so the arrow doesn't overlap the scroll bar.

  7. ADD LOCKED FOLDERS LIST IN THE USER ACTIVITY REPORT

    Currently we have no way to look up which holders are locked via FolderLockAPI.
    To avoid any trouble not knowing who has been locked,
    we'd like to request to add the locked folders list in the user activity report.

    FolderLockAPIを利用してLockされているフォルダの一覧をレポートに出したい:
    FolderLockAPIを利用してLockしたフォルダーについて、
    どのフォルダーがロックされているかがわからなくなるなどのトラブルを防ぐために、
    現時点でロックされているフォルダの一覧をアクティビティレポートに出力したい。

  9. Group - Allow the deletion of a list of user

    Group Management - Allow the deletion of a list of user.
    And do not search user one by one in the group, then click one by one on Remove button and then save ...
    When you have hundred users to remove in a group with thousand users, it is boring and time consuming...
    To add a group we can add several users at the same time, it is better !

  12. To retain Tasks even after "task-related user" is permanently deleted

    Currently, if a user is deleted, all of his/her related tasks will be deleted after the user is permanently deleted. Although task activities like approval and completion are recored in the admin reporting, it is not user-friendly and is unintuitive.

  14. Separate color or icon for user-owned folder

    When browsing user content in the admin console, I often need to determine which folders are owned by the user whose content I'm viewing. If there were a separate color or icon for folders that the current user owns, I wouldn't have to open every collaborated folder to check ownership.

    This could also help users delineate which folders they own and which are owned by others. It would be a big help with communicating best practices around folder ownership.

  20. Merge Users - Ability to Merge 2 or More Accounts Into 1

    A 'merge users' feature would help with the initial administrative burden of cleaning up existing accounts.

    Key asks:
    --The ability to choose 2 or more Managed Users in Box to merge
    --The ability to choose which email becomes the primary email for the user (thus which account will become the owner of the other account's owned content)
    --The ability to choose whether demoted emails should be retained as email aliases or simply removed from the user's (updated) profile
    --The ability to choose whether existing collaborations on externally-owned folders are retained (meaning account 2 is invited into an…

    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.
