Hello.

Please tell me how to exempt two-factor verification using Box CLI.

 

I'd like to exempt two-factor verification for accounts. I used the following command but couldn't that.

box users:update ID --exempt-from-2fa

    I found that BOXCLI cannot change the exempted two-factor authentication due to an error in the source code.
    You can fix the problem with the following fixes:

    ・CLI ver
    v2.9.0

    ・Bug target file（Number of lines）
    src\commands\users\update.js（L21）

    ・Modification place
    before：updates.is_exempt_login_verification = flags['exempt-from-2fa'];
    after：updates.is_exempt_from_login_verification = flags['exempt-from-2fa'];
