I found it strange that site admins could alter the admin settings of any group, but they can’t join any group. The script below creates a new join button for logged in site admins (super admins) right beside the other button. The new button only appears if the group is private or hidden and they are not a member.

`// creates a new join button to allow site admins to join any group
function my_site_admin_group_join_button( $group = false ) {
global $bp, $groups_template;

if ( !$group )
$group =& $groups_template->group;

// leave if they’re not super admin
if ( !$bp->loggedin_user->is_site_admin )
return false;

if ( !$group->is_member && $group->status != ‘public’ )
echo ‘

Site Admin can ‘ . __( ‘Join Group’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

‘;

}
add_action( ‘bp_group_header_meta’, ‘my_site_admin_group_join_button’, 1);`

i hope someone finds it helpful.

According to the plugin, “You may also define a group admin and mod that will be auto-assigned to all new groups.” so wouldn’t that do the job?
