For Google Apps administrators, the offerings in the Google Apps Marketplace seems to be a lot of 3rd party tools that pull in gApps data (Docs, Calendar, etc.) You can click on a user name and force reset their password, set nicknames (alternate usernames) and include them in the shared contacts directory (more on that later).
