Hi Arik, I can tell you from experience that getting end-users to use the admin-interface and page editor is a bad idea. While magnolia is a very easy to use CMS, and users can achieve a lot with minimal training, it is not really possible for arbitrary, untrained users to manage the page editor. Even if you manage to solve the issues around displaying the page editor on a public instance, I'd strongly advise against it based on useability. My advice is to design an easy-to-use web-form (maybe using magnolia's form module), and add form-processing logic in your models to create the content for the profile. You might also consider not storing the profiles as content in the website repo, but instead using the data repo or a custom repository for this (or maybe attaching the data to the user's node in the public users repo). Creating content in the website repo directly could be a security issue, and might cause headaches with activation.

The thing that I am trying to find out is if it is possible to make it so these users can build these pages by themselves in a similar fashion to a content author in Magnolia where they can choose components, use dialogs etc. to build their pages without me having to rebuild that functionality for the live site. These are public users and not company users so giving them access to the admin console is not really something I want to do.
