Map AD groups to co-admin roles
Like many large companies, we use AD groups for privileged roles like reporting and team management. There is no current way to map these AD groups into co-admin roles and the Box admin must set these manually.
This does not scale and is a major admin overhead for IT departments to have multiple places to administer something as simple as being able to generate reports or edit metadata templates.
8 votesThis does sound like a huge burden for admins and I’d like to hear more about how you’d use existing AD groups to grant co-admin permissions. We are looking into extending our APIs to allow admins to set co-admin permissions, which may alleviate the pain of setting the permissions manually.
However, we don’t currently have any plans to take the AD groups and map them to co-admin permissions at this time.

Managing Groups
■Request
For "Group Management", we would like to request the permission settings that meet the following requirements.
・Can freely create groups
・Can only manage groups created by themselves
・Cannot manage groups for the entire tenantCurrently, a group administrator can have administrative rights for only certain groups, but cannot create groups.
We would like to achieve the above by segmenting the "Group Management" authority of co-administrator or expanding the "Group Administrator" authority. Could you consider it?■Background
Since it takes person-hours to grant folder access rights on a per-user basis, it is…0 votes -
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user should either appear greyed out in the list of users or have an red x or something to indicate this user is no longer active.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 longer…

Ability to display groups on a single line in the Collaboration Report
The Collaboration report shows duplicate information for the same user if the user belongs to more than one group or if the individual and group collaborate on the same folder.
As part of the inventory, we want to extract the access rights set for a folder, but it is inconvenient if user information is output in duplicate.
When accessing a folder and viewing the collaboration information directly, the group is specified to be displayed on a single line.
Please create an option to display them on a single line for reports as well.In Japanese：
コラボレーションレポートでは、ユーザーが複数のグループに所属している場合や、
個人とグループで同じフォルダにコラボレーションしている場合、同じユーザーの情報が重複して表示されます。
棚卸の一環として、フォルダに設定されているアクセス権の抽出をしたいが、ユーザー情報が重複して出力されると不便です。
フォルダにアクセスしてコラボレーション情報を直接見る際は、グループは一行で表示される仕様です。
レポートの場合も一行で表示させるオプションを作って下さい。3 votes -
APEX SDK need group collaboration support
We are working on building out our SFDC integration to support some additional work flows. We leverage groups heavily and would like the ability to collaborate groups using the APEX SDK, which currently is not supported. User collaboration is.

Improve the sort order of candidate groups on invite modal
Improve the sort order of candidate groups on invite modal
Currently, candidate users/groups that partially match the texts I entered are displayed in the ascending order.
We want a way to get the user/group that perfectly matches the texts I entered displayed at the top.For e.g., let's say we have the 4 groups each titled "Enterprise Sales team", "Commercial Sales team", "Online Sales team", "Sales team".
With current design, when I type "Sales team" in the textbox, candidate groups are returned in the below order (every group that contains "Sales team" is returned…

Invite Box Groups from Another Tenant
Currently, when inviting users who belong to a different tenant to our tenant, each user must be invited individually. This process is time-consuming and inefficient.
We would like the ability to invite users from another tenant by group, rather than having to invite them one by one.（InJapanese）
別テナントからBoxグループを招待したい現状別テナントに所属しているユーザを弊社テナントへ招待する場合、1ユーザずつ招待する必要があり、対応に時間がかかり非効率です。
ユーザーを1人ずつ招待するのではなく、別テナントのユーザをグループ単位で招待できる機能を希望します。4 votes -
Box Shield Smart Access - Require approval when doing a Business Justification override of a Classification
I want to allow team members to override a Box Shield Classification/Access Policy with a Business Justification ONLY IF the appropriate person approves the override.
"Appropriate person" would be 100% configurable and different across different Classification Labels. Options like:
- Person who created the Classification Label
- Main Admin or Co-Admin with appropriate permissions
- An assigned authorized person or group (e.g. legal, compliance, infosec, IT, folder or file owner).E.g. scenario #1: "Highly Classified" label - only Admin, Co-Admin with Shield permission, xxx person in InfoSec, or yyy person in IT could approve the override.
E.g. scenario #2: "Internal…

Ability to show or hide specific metadata templates for specific users and groups only.
As the number of metadata templates increases, selecting metadata when creating file request links or Relay workflows can become complicated and lead to mistakes.
By setting metadata templates that you want to use only for specific users/groups, you can reduce mistakes like this and improve the usability of Box, so We would like to see it implemented.メタデータテンプレート数が増加するにあたりファイルリクエストリンクやRelayワークフローの作成の際のメタデータ選択が煩雑になりミスを誘発する可能性があります 。
特定のユーザー/グループにのみ使用させたいメタデータテンプレートを設定することでこのようなミスを削減しBoxの利便性にも繋がるため是非実現してほしいです。16 votes -

NetSuite move folder contents and link when converting lead-prospect-customer
I discovered that when you change a customer between the stages of lead/prospect/customer that because each type is linked it's own "Box Record Type Config" and each of those have their own "Record Type Folder Name", that when you go from lead->prospect the files that were originally uploaded to Box that have a folder inside the "lead" folder group does not move with the NetSuite customer change. Hence to the user it seems that the files are lost but really just the link is lost.
There needs to be code change that when a customer stage is changed that any…12 votes -
Request for improvement to the number of users without access displayed on the content card in Box for Teams
If the user has only been invited as a group, they will be counted and shown as "without access" even though they have access permissions because they are not a direct collaborator.
We are aware that this behavior is documented in a support article.
However, the display differs from the actual situation and may induce incorrect responses, as described below.
Therefore, we would like to request a fix so that it shows the accurate number of users without access, whether they are direct collaborators or group collaborators.ex）

Indexing Box Drive Offline Files
I have access to a number of folders that I don't need frequently (if at all), but I do have a select group of folders that I use daily, and I keep these stored as files available offline. I recently migrated from a computer that used Box Sync to a computer using Box Drive, and I was very disappointed to find that I couldn't search my offline files using the windows file explorer. Instead, I'm forced to use the Box Drive search window, which requires that I search ALL of my folders, which frustrates many of my directed searches.

Role based permissions or more granular permissions on groups
Ideal is a role based permission where you can select individual folders, people, and files that users have access to as well as admin permissions.
Other option is to add more granular permissions for groups.

Show all groups in Content Manager
We'd like to target all groups in content manager in the admin console. Search results currently shows 1st 10,000 groups, but does not show groups created after the 10,000th group. We would like all of our groups to be shown in the content manager.

Add ability to get a user's collaborations via API
Since there is a function to get a list of invitations to the group, I want to provide the same to the users.
Like,
https://api.box.com/2.0/users/:user_id/collaborations4 votesWe don’t currently plan to provide such an API, however please leave a comment if you have more information about how this would be used. In the interim, you can identify all of a user’s collaborations by requesting items in the user’s root folder (id = 0) and filtering out those where the owned_by user is the current user. This would require an additional API call for each item to get the collaboration id, but if you are only interested in knowing which items re collaborated versus owned by the user, it may be sufficient for your purposes.

Add a search bar to Groups menu when creating new user
When creating a new user in the Admin Console, it is possible to search for specific folders to add this user to as a collaborator. Unfortunately, there is not a search function for adding users to groups from this New User page, and when these group names are rather long and the full name of the group is not able to be seen in the menu, and when an organization has a large number of groups, it can be difficult to determine which group to add the user to.
Can there be a search bar added for the …

Hubs permission model should be more granular (add previewer)
Currently in the Box Hubs Beta, all collaborators invited into a Hub receive the "Viewer" permission on files and folders linked in the Hub. This does not allow for Hub content to be view-only and block downloading of content. Alternative methods of managing this such as rolling out classification policies would not be scalable as Hubs usage grows. It would be great if Hubs collaboration could be more granular and there was an ability to invite users or groups into a Hub with other permissions such as "Previewer" so they are more restricted on what they can do after…
