Set up Box with the previous setup flow
Use this page for a Box connector created with the previous setup flow. If your Box setup page shows Connect, Set up indexing, and Review setup, use New setup for a new connector instance.
Complete the setup in the Glean Admin console.
Requirements
Permissions
- The user setting up the connector must be a Box Admin.
- Box co-admin accounts are not supported. Use a Box Admin account so Glean can crawl all expected content.
- Glean uses a managed Central OAuth app for Box setup.
Optional: Suppress notification emails
Glean uses the Box download files endpoint during crawling. If your Box instance sends email notifications for suspicious download activity, we recommend asking Box to suppress notifications for the client ID used by the integration.
Contact Glean Support to get the client ID.
If you do not suppress these notifications, Box may send download notifications across your organization.
Set up the connector
- Sign in to the Glean Admin console.
- Under the Setup tab, enter a Name, and optional Icon for the connector.
- Select Authorize and follow the prompts to grant Glean access to your Box instance.
Monitor the first sync
After you start indexing, open the Box connector's Overview tab in the Admin console. If initial sync progress is enabled for the connector, Index readiness shows the percentage of sampled priority content indexed after discovery finishes. This isn't a percentage of all Box content. See Monitor initial sync readiness.
