Hello!,

I see this was an option for

box users:update <id> --[no]restrict-external-collab 

Run like this:

box users:update <id> --restrict-external-collab, toggles the setting on.

Wanted to toggle the checkbox off, so the user can collaborate externally

Ive tried box users:update <id> --restrict-external-collab false, which is wrong and returns and error.

Im sure Im missing something very simple.

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Hey Mitchell, 

Try: box users:update 123456789 --no-restrict-external-collab

Hello, I just wanted to pigback this from years ago. I want to disable the external collab as you have in the example above however i wanted to know if there was a simple way to apply this to all users rather than a specific user ID?
