What Does It Do?

- Users can be added in bulk to Social Groups, and the URL of the Social Group can also be changed.
History of the Admin Essentials Tools
This Plugin was developed initially by Ryan Rutan as a free plugin to add an array of tools and administrative functions to add helpful tools into the product.
Few features have been rolled into the core product or have been replaced by more advanced functionality.
As his role is now Development Evangelist, he will be focusing his time on the Jive Developer community and no longer personally maintaining this functionality.
