Adding Company Information to Users to Prevent Wrong User Invitations
When I invite a user with Box, information other than the email address is not displayed, so I think it is possible to invite another user by mistake.
In order to solve this problem, I think it is necessary to display not only the email address and name but also the company information that the user belongs to when inviting the user.
For managed users, we want to make it possible to register company affiliation information in account settings and so on, so that it can be displayed when inviting collaborators.

Enhance feedback when a user unlocks a file locked by another user
There is no warning given if a user unlocks a file which has been locked by another user.
Currently we have users who are locking files, while they edit content in desktop Office apps, but other users are unlocking as they also have to make urgent changes. This is causing a conflict of edits and loss of changes.
If a user, other then the person that locked a file, unlocks a file then there should be a warning message displayed that asks for confirmation before the unlock is implemented.

Like External users, make a remove user from all content for Managed users.
Like External users, make a remove user from all content for Managed users. So we can remove a managed user from all content instead of removing them from each folder individually.

Delete User without transferring content when using Retention Policy
【Background】
When a Retention Policy is active and I try to delete a user that does not have a content that is under retention policy, it is required to transfer their content to another user.【Request】
When the user that does not hold an item that is not under retention policy, I would like to have the user deleted without transferring their content.This is because we are currently using an ecosystem called Hakonnect, which manages users, but it returns an error when trying to delete a user with retention policy on.

Enable admin settings to customize new user onboarding setup flow
The new user onboarding displayed at https://{DOMAIN}.app.box.com/onboarding/setupflow should be customizable.
Currently new users are guided through a one time onboarding set of screens in the web app. These are Box branded and while they personally greet the user are not otherwise configurable.
This feature should be opt-in, easily disabled by CLI or API (e.g. show-onboarding: False), or allow for customization.
We can currently enable the promotion of Box Mobile, Notes, etc. in the Admin Console. This would be similar to implement and appropriate on the User Settings console tab.
Right now the final screen displays a prompt for the …

Show Affected File Details in Exported User Activity Report for Removed Collaborations
When running a User Activity Report on Removed Collaborations, you are able to see the granular file name details on the Box website when selecting "View" and hovering over the affected user.
Please include this in the report output that is exported when selecting "Run" as currently the report only shows "Parent Folder" which is misleading when restoring access as there are cases when the collaborator only had permission to a specific file inside the parent folder causing issues when restoring access for users that were offboarded and then onboarded again due to internal processes.
This will also…

Pulling file-level user activity reports in bulk
I am trying to run a user activity report in Box. What I am hoping to see is which users accessed a set of files during a certain period of time.
I ran the User Activity report in Reports against the parent folders that I was hoping to review, the activity log that came back only shows actions taken on the parent folders, no activity is shown for any of the files within the folders.
Support has confirmed that there is no way to run this report against the sub-folders and sub-files of the folders selected.
Having this functionality…

User setting - View group names
We demand a change of the screen at the time of user settings.
After updating to the new UI, we cannot see the back of the group name when adding a user to the group.
We want the window to be wider or scrollable.2 votes -
Delete user without transferring content when using legal hold
【Background】
1. When "Legal Hold" is ON but no "Retention Policy" set
2. When I try to delete a user that is not related to the legal hold above, they need to transfer the content to another user.【Request】
Since it is a user that is not affected by the "Legal Hold", I would like to be able to use that user without transferring the content, which is the behaviour when there is no Governance setting.3 votes -

Custom error message for disabled user
Currently, if the disabled user accesses box, it shows “Disabled by administrator” and advises them to contact “administrator” only. But there are the possibilities that administrator misses these kind of emails (i.e. Out of office situation). So we would like to add "please contact your administrator or 'co-admin'" for this error message.
Or, allow the admin to modify this message directly would be the best option.6 votes -
Enable End Users to Apply Existing Retention Policies to Their Content
Currently, only administrators can assign retention policies to content in Box. This central control is important for compliance, but it also creates workflow bottlenecks when end users need to apply retention to content immediately for governance, regulatory, or project-specific reasons.
Allowing end users to apply pre-approved, administrator-created retention policies or templates to their own content would:
Empower teams to self-govern content in line with company compliance standards.
Reduce admin overhead and delays.
Ensure governance rules are applied at the point of content creation, rather than after-the-fact by admins.

Change the Last Login on the User Details report with Last Activity
The Last Login date of the User Details report doesn't show the real last login time of each users.
As it's misleading, it'better to add the Last activity date instead of Last Login.6 votes -
Limit the amount of data a user can download to prevent data theft by employees.
Limit accidental or intentional bulk downloads.
An ex-employee intentionally or accidentally connected his Network Attached Storage device to his Box account, and it downloaded big chunks of our Box data. We want to prevent very large amounts of data (client work and IP) from being downloaded by users, for example, within a logged-in session, within a set timeframe or by the size of the folder (ie. large folders over a specific size containing folders).
This could be set per user with an enterprise-level default eg. 5GB. If someone tries to bulk download, the admin is altered. Users can…

Delete user capability
Remove the "Get started with Box.pdf" file that is automatically added to each user. This becomes a 1.8 mb content for the user. As users are offboarded, this is content that needs to be transferred to someone before their account can be deleted. The information contained in that PDF can be housed in the help, announcements or notifications.

Assign user to item in Box App
As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a specific user in Box App rather than relying on free text or metadata drop down fields so that I can send a notification or task and see additional user information such as email and profile photo

I want to restrict the installation of the desktop application by user
Is it possible to add a feature to the management console that allows me to limit the installation of desktop applications (Box Drive, Box Note, etc.) per managed user?
Once this is achieved, there will be more control over which desktop applications a corporate user can install.

Add the ITEM ID to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder) in order to join to Files and Folder report on ID
Add the item id to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder). This would allow the User Activity events to be joined to the Files and Folders report data in order to report on activity against files and folders. An example report would be a list of all activity (Downloads, Previews, etc...) for a specific Box account. Currently the User Activity report only shows the activity that a specific user has done, but not what activities have been done against the content owned by a specific user. This would allow for a wide range…
