[geeklog-users] chatterblock

[Blaine Lang]

The Chatterblock install does add the new rights to the ROOT group - both
for admin and user.
This is fine .. but then modifying any other CORE GL group may not be what
all GL admin's want.

I offerred this feature in the FileMgmt Plugin Admin - to update the
"Logged-in Users" group.

IMHO, the Group Editor should allow this operation.
