    I have a Website with multiple anonymous authors, who should be able to edit basic profile information like avatar, name, email, bio description.

    These authors are featured with their profiles in an author archive. If they edit their profiles after registration let’s say with a harmful and exploitative description text this would show up in the authors archive.

    There could be several solutions to this and i am asking myself if i could achive that with this addon:

    1. Every Profile Edit has to be confirmed by an admin
    2. Subscribers are able to edit their profile info but not contributors. After a user registered as a subscriber and edited his author info the admin gives him contributor status and he cannot edit the description anymore. At the same time only Contributors show up in the Authors Archive.
    3. The description can only be edited once (after that the user needs to contact the admin for changes)

    1. Not possible with the current functionality of Profile Builder.
    2. This might be possible, but it will require custom coding on your part.
    The scenario goes like this:
    – users register via Profile Builder on your website and are given the role: Subscriber
    – they can then go to Edit Profile page and edit their profile information. Once they click update you change their user role to Contributors (needs custom coding).
    – Using a membership plugin (like Members), you don’t allow Contributors to see the Edit Profile page, so once they clicked update they won’t have enough permissions to see/edit that page anymore.
    – You create a front-end User Listing with Profile Builder, where you list only the users (authors)that have the role Contributor.

    3. Is possible if you change the user role (to contributor) after he edits the profile.

    I think this setup will fit the scenario you described above.
