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.

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.

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.

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

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.
8 votesThis 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.

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.

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.

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 -

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.

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).

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…

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.

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.
