The documentation (http://developers.box.com/webhooks/) talks about webhooks in the context of “user’s account”. I read that as getting notifications only about the objects to which I have access.
Let’s say I want to be notified every time there is a new upload anywhere across my organization. Do I need to be an admin to accomplish this, or is the webhooks scope not subject to my user permissions?
While we’re continuing to enhance webhooks, there is some administrative functionality built-in. For instance, if you can get your webhooks installed for all your users, and have the webhook point to one endpoint, that can track all activity in your account.
There is a way to force webhooks on all users in your domain as an administrator. However, this feature hasn’t been optimized for companies that use webhooks for internal use. That’s still in progress.
If you’d like to be kept in the loop, or try some workarounds with what we have, feel free to contact us at api [at] box [dot] com. With more information, we may find something that works today, based on your exact needs.
