I have case where profiles want to be posted (by an admin) before the users associated with them are actual users. I think this is not possible with Profile 2, and probably I need to create my own profile content type and perhaps make the user author of their profile node once they are a user. But just checking here first.

Thanks!

I think that's what you'll have to do. Subscribing for the answer..

You could use the User Reference to create a profile like node without a user associated to it and then at a later time add a reference to the user it belongs to.

This is the aim of the Party module -- currently in development as a sandbox project here: http://drupal.org/sandbox/joachim/1260650.

You can very easily create profile2 entities without attaching them to a user using the migrate module (need migrate_extras module for profile2). Simply give all the profiles some default UID (like 0, 1, or 999 or something), then write a hook to update them when new users register. IMO the migrate module is confusing, but it does a ton of work for you. Look at the examples and figure it out, now it is effortless, and super useful.
