Box

Note:

  • The Box API integration will only sync managed users data and groups but not the external users and security settings.

  • To sync external users and security settings of Box, create a separate application instance within Zilla and use Box ZUS integration.

This page outlines the process of configuring and using the Box API through Zilla to sync permissions, groups, and users.
