Disabled by Administrator
I am unable to connect Box to Microsoft Word because it says disabled by Administrator. How can I resolve this issue?

Hi Jamari,
Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!
If you are using a computer running Windows OS, you may install Box for Office to connect your Box account with your desktop MS applications
For Individuals:
Prerequisites
- Windows 10 or higher
- Microsoft Office 2010 or higher
- .NET 4.x or higher (will be handled by installer)
- Visual Studio Tools for Office (will be handled by installer)
- Administrative rights
Note The installation package requires admin rights to include an auto-updater service so Box for Office can seamlessly be upgraded in the background in the future.
Installation
- Download the setup package for individuals.
- Run the setup package, providing administrative rights as needed.
- Open Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and navigate to the full Open menu. (May need to use the Open Other Documents link from the initial screen.)
- Choose Box as a source to open files from, and sign in with your Box account credentials.
- Once logged in, you can log out from any of the Open/Save/Share pages as well.
