View and edit Profiles

Hi,

I have a second profile created with Profile 2 called "admin profile"
Each user has their own main profile which they can edit.
But I want them to not be able to edit the second profile ( ie only the department admin role can do that )
This is all fine but now I am trying to provide the department admin with a table view of all of the users
such that if they click the name it takes them to editing the admin profile.
But in creating the view there is no option for "Edit" with the admin profile.

I think the code above may help and I will try it but I am unsure how to implement it.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks Bill

Hi Bill, I believe you can control who can view and edit with Profile 2 Permissions.

Hi Aniebel

I just noticed your post. Have you actually managed to get permissions working? I'm only asking as I have a major problem with this and for example if you remove the 'edit' permission from a user (with the exception of Admin) it removes all menu links and also the view.
