This article is about Box Shuttle in the Admin Console. If you’re using legacy Box Shuttle, a standalone tool, see legacy migration guides.

Box Shuttle is available in the Admin Console, which means you can access it directly, without the need to log in to a separate solution.

Based on the permissions granted by admins, the Shuttle co-admins can have the following access types:

  • access Shuttle to analyze and migrate data and additionally manage user content. (Access Type: Shuttle and user content).
