This modification will allow social group owners and administrators to send an email to all members of a social group. Each usergroup can be configured to specifically allow or disallow sending to groups they created, if you would like to limit this ability to specific trusted user groups. By default, admins will also be able to send emails to members of any group, regardless of whether they created the group or not.
Note: If a social group member has elected not to receive emails from other members or is invited to a group and has not accepted yet, they will not receive emails sent using this modification.
