Good morning,

 

Please can you assist me in allowing our IT support to be a admin on my Box folders? Their domain is outside mine. 

 

Details below:

Do you need anything else to assist me? 

 

Thank you,

Desiree

Hi ​@Desiree, 

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re here to help in granting collaborators with co-owner access to your folders. 

 

You should begin by inviting this person as collaborator to the folder and grant him/her with Co-Admin permission. 

To invite someone to collaborate in a file or folder:

  1. Open the Share window. To do this, in your Box files view, hover over the row of the file or folder you wish to share.
  2. On the right, click Share.

    share-files

  3. The Share window opens.

  4. In the Share window, under Invite People, click Add names or email addresses.
  5. Type a collaborator’s name or email address.
    • As you type, Box anticipates your intended recipient and lists corresponding email addresses.  You can select the recipient you want, or continue typing the full email address.
    • When typing full email addresses, separate recipients by a horizontal space.
  6. Click the Invite as drop-down menu. Box displays a list of roles.
  7. Click the role you wish to assign to the collaborator, (select Co-Owner). 
  8. (Optional) In the Message field, type a message of up to 750 characters for the collaborator.
  9. Click Send.

 

Hope it answers your question! Let us know if you have questions and clarifications.
