Version of Box Required

The Aspire Box connector was created and tested using an Enterprise account.

Before installing the Box connector, make sure that:

You will also need to create a Box application.
You have a Box Application created.
You need the Box Client ID (from Box application)
You have the Box Client Secret (from Box application)
You have the Box API Key (from Box application)
After getting the id and secret, you need to generate the access token and refresh token. These values are necessary because Box uses the standard OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization of users.
If you are interested in crawling shared and private content for all users of Box, you will need to open a ticket to Box support providing the client id and client secret (from the Box Application), requesting As-User functionality, this will be necessary to crawl private content for all users by impersonating each user.

You will need all those credentials, client Id, client secret, API key later, as part of installing the Box Connector.

User Account Requirements
