  1. Download event is not recorded in User Activity Report

    When a user downloads a signed PDF from the Sign Inbox page, the "Download" event is not recorded in the User Activity Report. Instead, a "Content Access" event is logged.
    However, when downloading a signature log from the same page, the "Download" event is correctly recorded.

    We would like to ensure that the correct event is logged in all cases to accurately track user activities.

  2. Automatically add a Group to all existing folders of an email address

    Our department has been sharing one email address to manage Box folders. Now we want to use our individual emails and add our Group to the existing folders to maintain them. Currently we would have to select the folders individually and there are thousands so that is not realistic. It would be nice if there was a select all option for these folders to add our Group to.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. The Ability to Search for Users by Secondary Email Address

    In the Admin Console, there is currently no way to search for users by their secondary email address.

    When the Admin goes to create a new user with an email address that is already in use by an existing account, they have no way of seeing who is using the email address without checking their users' account details individually.

    not planned  ·  katiele responded

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the current experience to manage users in the Admin Console before we add enhancements to search.

  7. Delete User App Authorization

    It would be nice to delete User App Authorization from the Admin Console. While Server App Authorization can be deleted by contacting support, User App Auth cannot.

    Disabling auth is a good temporary workaround, but when there are many user app auths it can get cluttered and difficult to manage.

  8. 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.

  10. 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).

  12. 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.

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. Ability to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group

    Ability to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group.

    I file the request on behalf of the customer.
    The customer would like to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group but it seems that Box can only disable Box Mobile App per Enterprise at this moment.

  18. 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,…

  19. 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.

  20. 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。
