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.

Display more info in "Groups" tab of "Users & Groups" menu and the link to the shared folders the group has access to
It would be great to have more info in the group tab, like:
* More columns: display "Permissions settings" and if it's synched from external or created locally on box.com
* Also on the shared folder when we go to a group, need the lin to the folder, there's only the name and we need to go to different menu to try identify the good folder shared (there can be many with same name, need to find the good one shared to the group, often too difficult)1 vote -
Auto Delegation of task
Allow user to set OOO (Out of office) and pick someone to auto delegate the task during his/her absence. This should delegate only tasks assigned directly to the user or if every member of a group is assigned a task. If the task is assigned to a group and marked as "Only 1 member from group to finish", then auto delegation should not happen.

We understand this use case, however it is not a current priority for the team. We will let you know if anything changes.

Metadata field for a user name - ability to @mention or tie a metadata field to a specific user
Similar to comments or tasks, it would be helpful to be able to autofill and insert a user's name in a metadata field.
There are a lot of use cases here, e.g. establishing the content owner since oftentimes that is different from the folder owner and not easily discernible or searchable.
Current workaround would be to use the text metadata field, which leaves room for user error, typos, or using different variations on people's names. A dropdown list helps with that but isn't a feasible option if you're choosing from a large set of users.

Allow Group Admins make a GET call for enterprise users
Group Admins are able to use the webapp UI to add managed users to a group. The UI allows them to start typing a username or email address and will return any results that match. If a Group Admin wants to add a member to a group via the API, they need to know a user's user ID. However, GET calls to https://api.box.com/2.0/users?filter_term=email@domain.com by a Group Admin fail with a 403 error. The same call made by a Co-Admin succeeds.

Groups - Customizable Permission Settings
None of the 3 permissions options - Company, Group Members, Admins Only - are ideal. Would love to have more options or perhaps a customizable setting where we can select which options to allow.
For example, as the primary admin, I apply groups to root folders and I want anyone shared to that folder to be able to view the group members for any group collaborating on that folder. Only way to do that now would be to set the groups' permissions to "Company". However, I do not want everyone to be able to invite any group to…

Ability to run relay workflows as a group
Relay workflows and approval tasks are started and sent as the user that created the relay. Ideally you want to get the box approval task that is sent to the users to approve to look like it is coming from the team that is requesting the approval.
Example: Invoice approval
When an invoice approval relay starts, pick dept. from metadata and start an approval process to the appropriate user as defined in the workflow. The user gets an email that says 'boxadmin' (in out case the user that created the relay) has sent you an approval task.It would be…

Box Sign - Update default folder that contracts are assigned to on a 1-by-1 basis, group, or company-wide basis
Box Sign - Update default folder that contracts are assigned to on a 1-by-1 basis, group, or company-wide basis.
E.g. I want my default folder to be called "[FIRSTNAME] [LASTNAME] Sign Requests" or "[GROUPNAME] Sign Requests" so that Box Relays are easy to configure.
Rather than every single folder that triggers a workflow being called "My Sign Requests," which makes it impossible to configure Relay Workflows from an Admin level.

provide option to not automatically accept collaboration invitations when being invited from a user group
I do not have option to not accept the collaboration invitation when content is shared with a user group that I belong to. Is there a way to have the option to not accept the invitation when invited by a user group that I am part of it.

Display name is cut off when specifying a group or user in the user activity report
The display name displayed in the suggestion when performing a search when specifying a group or user in the user activity report is cut off.
Users and groups cannot be specified correctly, such as when similar names are set and they are distinguished by the end of the name.
We want you to improve so that you can check all users and group names in the suggestion display when searching(In Japanese)

Ability to automatically add permissions to a group when sending approval task in Relay
When sending an approval task in Relay to a user that does not have folder permissions, Relay would invite that user as collaborator, but if a task is sent to a group, automatic invite does not work. It is crucial to enable to automatically add permissions to a group when sending approval task in Relay

Allow groups to change classification levels
We would like to see the option of a Box group to be able to change the classifications, along with the options we already have available.
This would allow us to create a group(s) that align with our written policies.

Copy or Duplicate existing groups
Would appreciate the ability to create copies of existing Groups, mainly for its members - not so much the permissions given to that group.
My use case: We've got an "ALL" group that has access to numerous folders. There is one user that does not want access to one of those folders. So I'd like to be able to copy the "ALL" group and remove that user, rather than re-create our "ALL" group which has a lot of members.
There also is no good way to bulk add members to a group. Typing each person is cumbersome,…

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…3 votes -
