User roles and privleges

Box has four prebuilt user roles

There are four prebuilt of user roles in Box: Admins, Co-admins, Group admins, and Members.

These roles can be further restricted with custom permissions as needed.

Admin

The organization admin has full control of the Box account. They can manage users, log in to any user's accounts, and update settings for the entire organization.

There can only be one admin role in an organization.

Co-admin

Co-admins have a similar level of control as the primary admin but have some restrictions. They are unable to change settings for the Admin user, update billing, or invite collaborators (when Restrict Invites is enabled).

Multiple Co-admins can be added to the organization.

Group admin

A group admin has control of the settings for a specific group. They can add managed users to a group and manage group members, as well as change folder permissions in that group.

Members

Members have no admin permissions by default. Instead, they inherit the permissions granted in the account-wide settings. Unless changed, members can invite collaborators to files and folders, but this can be disabled if needed.
