 * I hope this hasn’t been asked, I’ve read through about a hundred postings – and
   can’t find something asked like this before, so here I go.
 * I need to have the link to edit/complete/update the participants profile to hide/
   not display certain fields. I CAN do this, BUT I also need to have a way to edit
   ALL the fields still.
 * I am thinking the easiest way is to create a page with [pdb_record] on it, and
   another with field specified i.e. [pdb_record fields=”first_name,last_name,city,
   state” on another page. The problem is I can find no way to define the two pages.
 * The fully editable needs to appear in my list (which I have added the EDIT link
   to). The link sent to participants when they sign up needs to be PARTIALLY editable.
   I don’t want them to change certain field.
 * I will put in another shortcode to display-only the other fields I want them 
   to view, but not edit – but right now I can’t create 2 “editable” pages.
 * I’ve been working for 3 weeks to find something that does everything this plugin
   does, and I’ve gotten everything I really need – except this.
 * My alternative is to not send the emails with the link in it, but this means 
   any changes/updates to participant records will have to be done by one person–
   and this will be A LOT of work for our volunteers. We have about 300 volunteers,
   and to have an email or phone call for each time someone needs to update a phone
   number, etc would be horrible.
 * I’ve noticed that there is a [record_link] and a [admin_record_link], but I don’t
   see a clear definition of how these are used differently – is there a possibility
   these could be used? They both seem to allow for edit rights.

 * The only way to do this is to give your volunteer managers a WordPress login.
   You can control what access they have by using a user role editor plugin. Once
   you’ve established the access for your managers, you set up your templates to
   only show them the edit links and the administrative fields.
