Integrating Box with Drata automates your user access reviews, saving time and reducing errors by syncing user data directly from Box.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that your Box account has Admin privileges and has 2-Step Verification enabled in your Box Account Settings.

    2. In the My Platform Apps page, select the Create Platform App button near the top right.

    3. Select Custom App for the application type.

    5. Select User Authentication (OAuth 2.0) for the Authentication Method.

    6. Select Create App.

    7. Scroll down to the OAuth 2.0 Credentials section, and copy your Client ID and store it safely.

    8. Select the Fetch Client Secret button. This may prompt you for your 2-Step Verification code.

    9. Your Client Secret will now be displayed. Copy this and store it safely to be used during the connection process.

    10. Scroll down to the Oauth 2.0 Redirect URIs section and enter the following Redirect URI: https://api.stackone.com/connect/oauth2/box_iam/callback

      Add a Redirect URI
    11. Scroll down to the Application Scopes section and select the following scopes:

    • Read all files and folders stored in Box

    Select Application Scopes

When complete with the previous steps, save your changes.

If your organization uses a web application firewall (WAF), make sure you allow the following IP addresses to ensure successful connection.
