Box webhooks on all users in an enterprise

Hi,

I'm working on using the webhook (v1) feature and wanted to know if there is an option to publish an app that was developed with webhooks enabled, to all users in my account (I'm an admin)?
Or do I need go to each user and enable the app?

My main goal here is to have an app that gets webhooks notifications from all users in my enterprise.
For example:
I am admin. I have 3 users - user a user b and user c.
I want my one app that I (the admin) developed to get notifications if user b uploaded a file and if user c downloaded a file.

Is this possible?

 

Thanks.

  Were you ever able to achieve this?

  Please share your findings...

   

  Of course this was asked a year ago, and since then Webhooks V2 was released, but I couldn't find anything in the docs that would allow this.

  I just got the official response from the Box team, and this is indeed currently impossible:

  Thanks for reaching out. This is currently not possible. The functionality we have is just what's documented publicly at:
  https://developer.box.com/v2.0/docs/webhooks
  https://developer.box.com/v2.0/docs/getting-started-with-webhooks-v2
  
  Webhooks are designed for specific scopes (i.e. individual users, individual objects). If you're looking for enterprise wide activity, you are probably better off using our Events API:
