Prevent installation of .msi Box Edit if per-user .exe is already installed
Users get access to Box before their IT team deploys Box Edit.
End users start using Box Edit by downloading/installing the .exe installer.
Then their IT team deploys the .msi version. This results in Box Edit issues (usually "Box Edit does not support this file type" errors) and requires their IT team to clean up the per-user installs.
19 votesWe’ve already resolved this issue. The new MSI install should fail in this case.

Delete content option when delete user in new display
When deleting a user in the new display, the Delete content option is not present anymore.
I recommend to keep this option to prevent a forced data transfer for each deleted user.3 votes -
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

Admin Console Collaborations Report - Offer ability to filter by one External User, rather than all users
Admin Console Collaborations Report - Offer ability to filter by one External User, which is faster, rather than pull data for all users, which can take way too long.

Report on user logout behavior
Add a checkbox/filter in the User Activity report to allow admins and co-admins to report on when users log out. Currently there's a filter for logins but not for log out actions.

Visual indicator when Box Canvas user is just a viewer, not editor
When using Canvas as a viewer, the user may try to vote on the sticky notes, or try to locate the toolbar, and think that something is broken, when in reality they are looking for features available to editors only.
We should consider adding some visual indicator of the "view only" status e.g. a banner or a badge at the top, an icon over which a user can hover over to get more info, or an icon by the cursor arrow to indicate editing is disabled.

Enable shared link expiration notifications for user that enabled the shared link
For a closed folder structure, where the primary admin owns all content, Box should give the ability to 1) disable shared link expiration notifications for folder owners and 2) enable them specifically for the users that created the shared link to begin with.
Even if the former will not be changed, the latter behavior would be important for a closed folder structure.

User Offboarding (File/Folder Moves)
I’d like to suggest an improvement to the user offboarding process. When we delete a user, it would be very helpful to have more granular control over where that user’s files and folders are moved within the tenant. This way we can choose someone and then maybe a subfolder they want the data placed in.
Specifically, having the option to:
- Choose the destination folder for the disabled user’s content.
- Include checkbox option to include trash bin contents along with the rest of their files.This would make the offboarding process more efficient and ensure nothing…

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.

Allow reporting of user search activity
Allow reporting of user search activity.
We would like to get statistics on how many times a day users search on Box.
And what searched. who was search.
This is currently not available in the User Activity Report.that research for user's searching demand is an important knowledge data for admin and usage development.
Appreciate.

Include Specific Changes to User Privileges in User Activity Report
When running a user activity report that displays changes to a user's privileges, would like to view the specific settings that were edited.
Example: A user's/co-admin's privileges for the "Restrict External Collaboration" was checked at an unknown time. Would like to be able to check which user made this change and when the change was made.

Box Sign mask user inputs from other signers
Currently Box Sign fields are visible to all users in the signing process. When users provide sensitive information (PII, PHI, financial information) as part of a signature process, we need to be able to hide that sensitive data from other signers in the process.
Ex: Application for benefits reveals assets and income from the applicant but an approver in the process should not be able to see those individual fields (SSN, bank account numbers, disability status).

Additional User Details in admin
When a user is created or provisioned, it would be highly beneficial to have the capability to add additional details about the user that can be displayed in the user report. For instance, we would like to include the user's department and their cost centre as two separate fields that can be reported on. This would allow for a more granular level of detail in the user report, making it easier to categorize and analyze user data based on these specific attributes.
Furthermore, it would be advantageous to have an insights chart that leverages these additional fields. For example,…

If the owner of a Box Relay workflow is a “Deleted User”, there needs to be a way to transfer the owner to an administrator.
After creating a workflow in Box Relay, there are cases where the owner of the workflow is deleted by a script, etc., but the owner remains as a “Deleted User”.
Need the ability to take over the workflow of a Box Relay that has become a “deleted user” to an administrator or other user.
Reason：
This is because the workflow creator still has the owner rights, and even the system administrator cannot delete the workflow, so it remains as trash.

Inactive Status - Should have visual indicator that shows the account is inactive when user is still a collaborator on folder/file
When I change a user to inactive in the admin console, The user is still a collaborator on a folder or file. There is no way for the active folder collaborators to know if people are active or inactive. The inactive user should either appear greyed out in the list of users or have an red x or something to indicate this user is no longer active. You would become aware if you try to send a comment or at mention to the inactive user it will not pop up but that still doesnt emphasis that person is no…
