    Is it possible? What I want to do is this, will be using Solspace’s User Module:

    1) Member Signs up
    2) Is directed to SAEF where they input specific data
    3) this data does not (necessarily) go to the Member fields but rather to a channel entry. This would be a one-off - ie the user would ONLY be able to create this entry one time and ONLY THEY could edit it.
    4) Channel entries are displayed in list - they are Profiles in effect, although they are Channels - only certain data of which is viewable to the public

    Is it possible? Is also ok to have this data in Custom Member Fields but then would also need to address the editing/posting issue and display the Profiles in a list which seems more suited to channel entries really.

    Can it be done?

    You should be able to use Safecracker to do this just make sure you use the author_only=“yes” param.
