The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™


Admin Tools Community Choice Popular ComponentModulePlugin

Admin Tools is a true Swiss Army knife for your site. Our freely available Admin Tools Core will detect, notify you about and install new Joomla! releases, fix your files' and directories' permissions, protect your administrator directory with a password, change your database prefix, set a secure Super Administrator ID, migrate links pointing to your old domain on-the-fly and perform database maintenance, all with a single click.

Written and maintained by the same developer as Akeeba Backup and the Joomla! updater component of Joomla! 2.5.4 and later.

Note: a commercial edition (Admin Tools Professional) with extra security-oriented features is also available from our site for a fee. This listing is about the free version, Admin Tools Core.

Note 2: The software is free of charge, its support is not. You need a valid subscription (starting at EUR 7.79) to request support. However, its documentation, the troubleshooting wizard and searching the forum is free.

I initially downloaded this just for the joomla update feature but it actually has so many useful tools.

The security features point out things which you may not have thought about and are really easy to use.

Will be installing this on all future joomla sites, its a must have!

I really love this extension, is 1 of the first extension I install when I have build a new website in joomla. I suggest to anyone to give it a try and I'm pretty sure that noone will remove the extension.
Thank a lot to the Akeeba developer, even for Akeeba Backup, which is another of my favorite extension.

I am somewhat new to Joomla but not new to the web as I have a couple of other websites. I must say this Admin Tools package by Akeeba is awesome for what it does and its the free version too. It's very simple to install and use. I highly recommend it!

Thank you for taking the time to create this masterpiece. When you get my donation. Have a few beers. It is well deserved. I'm still in shock!

Had to leave a review just to say am new to Joomla and thought nothing could be as useful as the backup component but this comes close! Even for a novice so easy to use. Thanks for an amazing product.

Many thanks to the developer. This extension is a true time-saver. Why not include it in joomla core?

I'm surprised this isn't an "Editor's Pick".

This is a very powerful tool that makes various jobs so much easier to do.

I found it from a mention in the idea pool. Wish I had found this years ago!

Easy to install, easy to use, and a must have for every Joomla website.

For me it's the best solution against hacker attacks on my website. Fix permissions, set password to access admin area and more. Thank you very much for this extension.

Just the tool I needed. Almost every Joomla! website that I put up was hacked into and I had started learning some simple website security techniques. It comes as a relief that I don't have to carry out those techniques manually anymore. Admin Tools is doing it for me... thanks a million
Wow

All I can say is WOW. This is one of the most useful components that I have downloaded and highly recommend this to everyone. It makes updating and securing your website so much easier. Items of this nature should be made part of the Core of Joomla. Very well done. Easy to install and even easier to understand and operate.

I installed Admin Tools and Akeeba back-up around 8 months ago and have found both to be absolutely superb and the support is the best I've ever encountered yet.
This makes life a lot easier for updating to the latest Joomla update and for many other tasks.

I really really love this extension and it's family. Always use Admin Tools with Akeeba Backup and Akeeba Kickstart. Running smoothly from remote to local site. Great job. God bless you!

Nicholas ... you are a god! Truly you have made my life better, not to mention the time I will save with upgrades. After being hacked I will sleep better at night knowing that I have this in place.
Thank You.
