The Groups report provides an overview of the groups in your enterprise. Use it to see who administers each group and how many folders are shared with the group. Admins and co-admins with the Run new reports and access existing reports permission can create the Groups report. Each row is one group. When a group has more than one admin, all admin names appear in that group’s Group Admins cell. To see the permissions each group admin holds, run a User Details report and include Group Admin Permissions.
It can take up to one day for changes to groups to appear in the report. The report is a current-state snapshot, not a historical view of who held which role.

Groups report details

  • File format: comma-separated value (.csv) file
Reports are saved in your Box Reports folder by default. When you create the report from Admin Console > Reports, you can specify a different destination folder.

Run the Groups report

Run the Groups report from Admin Console > Reports > Create Report. From that flow you can choose columns, filter by group, save the report configuration, schedule the report, and subscribe users. See Running Reports for the full procedure. You can also generate the report from Admin Console > Users & Groups > Groups by selecting Download Report. That download does not let you choose columns, filter groups, save a configuration, or schedule the report. Use Create Report when you need those options.

Groups report data columns

This section describes the data columns in Groups reports. You can select which columns appear in the report. All columns are selected by default. Columns marked with an asterisk are required and cannot be cleared.

Group ID*

Required. An identifier generated when the group is created.

Group Name*

Required. The name of the group.

Member Count

The number of members in the group. The report does not list member names.

Group Admins

The names of users who hold the group admin role for the group. When a group has more than one admin, names appear in the same cell, separated by commas. This column does not include each admin’s permissions. Those permissions vary by admin and appear in the Group Admin Permissions column of the User Details report. For how group admin permissions work in the product, see Designating Group Admins.

Folders Shared With Group

The number of folders shared directly with the group. Nested or inherited shares are not included. This count matches the folders-shared value on the group page in Users & Groups.

Created

The date the group was created.

Last Updated

The date the group was last updated.

Groups report filters

Optional. Enter one or more group names to limit the report to those groups. If you do not select groups, the report includes all groups.
