    I'm having the same problem. Have you managed to resolve this yet?

    I have managed a rudamentory way... not quite what I wanted, but it is a start.

    Under Admin, Login check the Use tracker for extra user information.
    Ensure that Tracker feature is enabled
    Set up a tracker with the extra fields you want.
    Make sure there is a field that is set to a User type, and in the options box that appears, place a 1. I've used the 1st field, and called it User but I don't suppose it really matters which order it is in and what you name the field. (It shows in the same order when browsing the information)
    Go to your admin groups. Edit the group that you are working with.
    In the Users Information Tracker field select the tracker that you set up, and in the next field select the field you set to User (with option 1).

    Now if you go to the user preferences page, a link to view Users extra information appears with a link to that tracker.

    The problem I have come up against using this method is that although I can restrict unauthorised members not to see the entire tracker, I can't stop users monitoring the tracker, and thereby be sent an email with each users information each time it is changed. Can you help here? Do you know how to stop the monitoring of trackers, and is it possible to stop the monitoring of a single tracker only?
