extending dmUser problem

[smika-2]

We're just installed a fresh copy of Fortress under CF8.01, running on
IIS 7.
First thing we did, we did extend dmProfile to create Staff member
custom type, which looks like one below.
We use scaffold to create an admin interface, and what we got now on
attempt to add a new staff member is:
You can not edit other users' profiles.

Looks like this is the default behavior of dmProfile, which doesnt
allow editing except in case of own profile.Is there a way to
circumvent this restriction?

If this is not doable then instead of extending dmProfile, we can
create a custom ctStaff  with the fields dmProfile contains+ our
custom fields. In this case how do we manage permissions and security
for it?
What we did wrong? Please help.

I created something similar to this. Instead of creating a custom  
type - I just extended dmProfile. In other words, make a new file  
called dmProfile.cfc and store it in your project/packages/types  
directory - or in your plugin type directory (pluginName/packages/types

good luck!

I haven't actually tested this, but I think you should be able to just  
use your own edit.cfm file for the object (<myProject>/webskin/
dmProfile/edit.cfm).  Start with the edit.cfm in core as a template  
and make the necessary modifications, like removing the conditional  
statements you're referring to (you can find the original edit.cfm  
file in core/webskin/dmProfile/edit.cfm).

I could be completely wrong (since I haven't actually tried this...  
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), but it's worth a  
shot :).
