  1. Group Admin - Customizable Permissions

    Currently the Group Admin role is an all or nothing option, which, for some, provides far too many permissions (instant log in, etc.).

    Just like Box has customizable co-admin roles, Group Admin permissions should be split out in the same way.

  2. MS Office @ mentions to sync and notify users

    @ mention comments, tags and notifications section in Microsoft Office apps, should also integrate with Box interface and notifications. Great achievement with co-authoring, however, it is highly inconvenient to have to comment on Box preview, and then open the file to work/edit. Ideally users need to be able to @ mention and tag other colleagues/users within the MS application, which should notify other users to take action on the required document. Otherwise it creates duplication of work/inefficiencies in the process.

  4. Group permission and deleting data

    We would like the ability to modify the Editor group so it cannot delete data, or another role added that can support this. We need a group that can edit/rename files, but not delete.

  5. Need to be able to view group members before adding to a folder

    Would be great to be able to see members of a group prior to adding them to a folder. At the moment, even those groups which are listed as being viewable by anyone in the company can't be viewed until AFTER they are added to a folder, unless someone is a group admin. It means that either someone has to contact an admin to be sure they have the right group, or they have to add the group and then check right away to make sure they added the right one.

  6. When user share folder/file to group, please be able to use copy and paste.

    When user share folder/file to group, please be able to use copy and paste.

    When share folder/file to Group, if group name includes "@" and user copy and paste that group name to 'Invite People', it is judged mail address not group name.
    So, user cannot invite that group.

    If user enter group name and select from suggestion, they can invite group normally.

  7. Ability to import/export group information to edit

    To edit group settings efficiently, it's helpful that Box Admin can import/export group information for bulk edit.

    not planned  ·  katiele responded

    There is a clear ask for bulk operations (edit/delete/add) for user management in the Admin Console, but we are currently focusing on making our user management pages and APIs scale and perform more quickly. While this is on our radar, we are not currently prioritizing this on our near term roadmap.

  8. Ability to set a display image for the group

    I want to be able to set any image in the group.
    Because it can be difficult to understand the purpose of a group just by the name of the group.
    The image should be set to make it easier to understand what the group is.

  9. Create a group and then assign them tasks all at once

    When assigning a task we have to add each assignee one at a time. Can we create a group and assign all at once? I send off to 11 and Barbara has 18 names.

  10. Ability to opt-out from Group collaboration or hide group collaborated folders under All Files.

    If collaborated as Group, the folder appears under All Files whether the user want to see it or not.

    After a while, all of these folders would show up under the user's All Files and would be very hard to manage.

    Thus, ability to opt-out from group collaboration or ability to "hide" folders under All Files is needed.

  11. Even if a group is set as Admins only, Admin wants to invite the group by selecting the folder and click share button.

    In the group settings, if Permission Settings is set to Admins Only, Admin can only add this group to collaborate on content from within the admin console. (Invite from share button does not allow Admin to select that group.)

    Even if a group is set as Admins only, Admin want to invite it by selecting the folder and specifying the group from the share button.

  12. Add More Granular Control Over Group Management for Co-Admins

    I have a use case where I have my Marketing Manager setup as a Co-Admin with permissions to edit metadata templates. We'd now like her to also be able to manage the groups that controls access to marketing's folders. The problem is, because she's a co-admin Box won't allow us to assign her as a group admin. The only way we can allow her to admin the groups is to also give her Manage Groups access as part of her co-admin role. The issue with that is it would give her the ability to manage all group

  13. share link permission to group

    It would be great if we can add a four option as a share link permission to "Group Only" so I can share it to the users who belong to my group.

  14. Enhance API for group membership search

    Current implementation of user group membership search is very inefficient.
    both
    api.box.com/2.0/groups/GROUPID/memberships
    and
    api.box.com/2.0/users/USER
    ID/memberships

    Right now we have to search for membershipId for given groupId and userId .
    Our customers have thousands of groups and users.

    Ideally we should fetch membership info like
    GET api.box.com/2.0/group_memberships?groupId=<id>&userId=<id>

  15. Restrict Number of users in Group

    I would like the option to restrict the number of users in a group.
    The reason is each department has a cap to how many users they can register and if we can stop other admin adding more than they are allowed, it would make the management easier.

  16. We want group administrators to edit tracking codes

    Currently, tracking code information can only be accessed by Admins and Co-Admins with permission.
    We wish it was possible to give group admins the ability to edit tracking codes.
    Alternatively, We would like it to be possible to be a co-admin while being a group admin.

    グループ管理者に追跡コードの編集を行わせたい

    現在、追跡コードの情報は管理者および権限が付与された共同管理者しかアクセスすることができません。
    グループ管理者に対し、追跡コードを編集できる権限を付与できるようにしてほしい。
    あるいは、グループ管理者でありながら共同管理者になれるようにしてほしい。

  17. We would like to be able to register a group in the Configure Relay even if the group's permission setting is not "Administrators only"

    Currently, when we try to register a group in the Relay configuration, we can register the group if the group's permission setting is "Administrators only", but not if the group's permission setting is "Company" or "Group Members".
    Registration location [Enterprise Settings > Content & Sharing > Configure Relay].
    We are using "Company" and "Group Member" as the permission setting for groups to be able to respond to group invitations, etc. outside of the management console, so we would like these permission settings to be able to be registered in the Configure Relay.

    <グループの権限設定が「管理者のみ」以外の場合もBoxRelayの構成でグループを登録できるようにしてほしい>

    現在Relayの構成でグループを登録しようとするとグループの権限設定が「管理者のみ」の場合は登録できるが、
    「会社」や「グループメンバー」の場合は登録できない。【Enterprise設定>コンテンツと共有>Relayの構成】…

  18. @mention notifications are sometimes unreceivable

    Collaborated users can't receive notifications in some cases when they are mentioned in comments.

    Although the article linked to the URL below says this problem is already know, it doesn't tell in what cases this would happen.

    We would appriciate if you could tell us when this problem happens.
    And, we hope this problem will be solved as soon as possible.

  19. notifications group

    Allow users to set per-group notification preferences. My work recently created several umbrella groups that contain 100's of people and these groups get added as collaborators to announcement type documents. These documents generate a lot of noise with comments, etc. Now I have to choose whether to get flooded with notifications or turn them off. I would prefer to disable notifications of just the documents associated with these big umbrella groups, not the notifications for documents to which my account has been specifically added as a collaborator.
