I guess this is a really basic question; but I'm a newbie so please be gentle.

Let's say a user has registered and in so doing has entered values for some or all of the new fields in profile2.

Now the administrator, for whatever reason, would like to change a value that the user had entered.

How does he (the admin) bring up the user's profile to make mods?

If it can't be done in Drupal, were is the data in MySQL? It's not in the user table afaics.

I'm using Drupal 7.

Thanks,

CC

in admin/structure/profiles/manage/[profile_type_name]

uncheck "Provide a separate page for editing profiles." Then you've got one tab button on the upper right for each profile type in the user/X/edit page

If "Provide a separate page for editing profiles." I don't know, I think that's a currently unavailable feature.

But you've got a separate page for each profile that you can access through the user menu and a straightforward url like www.example.com/profile-main - only available for the current logged in user.

I'm a newbie so forgive me if I'm missing something.

I think the instructions you gave are for manipulating the user profile forms BUT not for modifying the data for a particular user.

For example, say I, as the admin, need to change the phone number for a user. I'm not that user so I can't directly access his profile. But is there another way for the admin to do so?

Thanks,

After you've checked you changed your profiles settings as described in #1, You can go to the people page, then choose a user and edit it's account, on it's account edit page, the profiles forms are accessible with the tabs on the upper right. There's one tab (button if you prefer) for each proflie type. The forms are there and you can edit or provide a value.

This would be very useful for me, so administrators can edit other users' profiles while the "Provide a separate page for editing profiles." is selected.

I know this is long closed, but I have a very simple solution for those puzzling over the ability for an administrator with profile2 to gain profile editing rights. Download and enable the Masquerade Module which allows you while working as an admin, to temporarily work as another user (for different but similar quandaries). I just tried it and it works great!
