'User must give a value' - administrator also?
TheoRichel - January 6, 2009 - 21:01
Some fields in my user profiles MUST be filled in by the users. That is a useful feature. However, as an administrator I fill in some fields before the user visits the profile for the first time. I am then also forced to fill in those fields, and I then put in 'Unknown'. As a consequence the user is not reminded anymore to fill in those fields since they are filled already (albeit with 'Unknown'). It would be nice if these fields were insensitive to a visit by the administrator. Is there a solution for this?
Many thanks
form alter if user role
I don't think there's a contributed module that solves this, but one solution would be to implement hook_form_alter() and if the global user is the administrator, or in a certain role, set all the #required properties to false.
Thanks
I do understand this partly. Can you tell me in which module I would have to do this?

See if this will

From your description my workflow would beMake profile fields optional.
Fill in fields before user visits.
Set profile_enforcer to do its thing to force users to fill in the fields you want.
After looking at the source of this module I am not sure it does what you need. hook_form_alter appears to be the best bet.
