Viewing Box permissions on folders

You can view the details of Box permissions on the Permissions tab.

You can see Box permissions after the localuserscan job and the Active Directory scan have run.

See About Box permissions.

To view Box permissions

  1. From the Workspace navigate to the Data Sources list-view.
  2. Expand a configured Box account to display a list of configured user accounts.

    The different user accounts correspond to folders on a file share.

  3. Expand a user account to view the folders that the user has access to.
  4. Click a folder. The Summary panel populates to display additional details.
  5. Click the profile arrow on the Summary panel to display the underlying folder-centric views.

    By default, the Overview tab displays the a summary of the selected data repository.

  6. Click Permissions.

    A summary of the users and the permission levels assigned to them appears. The permission levels include the tasks that a user is allowed to perform.

    The permissions view for folders shows the users and groups that have permissions on the selected folder and the access level that the user or group has. However, for groups, Data Insight does not display the number of users that are part of the group. If the Box user is not mapped to a user in Active Directory, only the user's email ID is displayed and you can not cross launch to other tabs using the right-click menu. Also, such users will not appear in Entitlement Review report and User/Group Permissions report.

    To view the members that are part of a Box group that has permission on the folder, right-click the group name and select Members. You can also generate a Entitlement Review report to review the members that are part of a Box group.

Box does not allow assignment of permissions at the All Files folder-level, account user name-level and share-level. As a result, Data Insight does not display any permissions for these levels.
