Sorry for being slow to respond to your original qestion.
I have done this, and yes you need to create a dmUser as well as a dmProfile.
You will also want to add the users to a Group (dmUserToGroup) either check the table your self or use the getMultipleGroups and addUserToGroup functions in Authentication.cfc

One other question...should I be creating a user object and then a profile object from there or does the creation of a profile object automatically create the user object?

There's no how-to on this yet.
I want allow users to register for the site and have a user account created that has little, if any, permissions as well as notification that the account is pending "approval" (i.e. the addition of permissions). Where should I begin with this?
Using the default roles in the system, you need to build an INCLUDE object that houses a self posting form. This form's action will create a profile object and automatically assign the user to the "MEMBERS" role.
You then simply assign permissions in the tree (or whereever) to the MEMBERS role to give that group permissions. By default MEMBERS just have view rights for the website.
p.s. FarCry is the best open source example of what CF can do that I've seen. Kudos to the creators and I hope to contribute as time goes by.
That's great to hear! Welcome aboard.
