SE Group Plug-in is basic, there are not many features for Site Administrator, Group Owners and Group Member such as “Useful Links”, “Group Email”, “Group Video”, “External Invitor” and so on. The privacy configuration is quite simple, Group Ownership could not be transferred; Permission to upload Video, Photo is able to restrict to certain member levels.

Advanced Group Plug-in enhances SE Group Plugin; it enables Site Admin and Group Owner to secure community better when providing a granular “Permission and Privacy” configuration. Moreover, with “External Invitor”, current members are able to invite their friends to join community and their groups. This would increase number of  group members and site members rapidly. Sharing feature is also more interesting when Members are able to share their Photo, Video, etc. within their group members.
