As a Box Admin, you can enable Box Apps for your enterprise.

​
Enabling Box Apps

  1. Navigate to Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Content & Sharing.
  2. Scroll down to the Box Apps section.
  3. Click Edit Configuration to choose which users can access Box Apps:
    • Disable for all managed users (default).
    • Enable for all managed users (recommended).
    • Enable for select users or groups, then enter one or more user names, email addresses, or groups.
    • Enable for everyone except select users and groups, then enter one or more user names, email addresses, or groups.
  4. Click Configure Management to select who can be the Box Apps Admin and manage Box Apps. The available options are:
    • Disable for all Box Apps users.
    • Enable for all Box Apps users.
    • Enable for select Box Apps users or groups, then enter one or more user names, email addresses, or groups.
    • Enable for all Box Apps users except select users and groups, then enter one or more user names, email addresses, or groups - choosing this option excludes specific users or groups from managing Apps.
      For example: if you don’t want new joiners to create new apps, you can either add them as single users to the exception list, or create a group for them and add a whole group.
Once you enable Box Apps and configure who can edit and manage it, check if you have any Metadata Templates created. If not, see the Creating Metadata Templates section in Customizing Metadata Templates to learn how to create them. You can find more information about metadata management in Customizing Metadata Templates and How to Create the Right Metadata Structure for your Enterprise.
