Augment your BuddyPress sign-up form with your social network’s registered <a href="https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/" rel="nofollow ugc">Member Types</a>. This allows new users to self-select one or more Member Types for themselves when they register for your site. You choose which Member Types you want to allow people to register with when they fill in your signup form.
<ul>
<li>Works with all BuddyPress member types registered by other plugins and themes.</li>
<li>Seamlessly integrates with the BuddyPress registration form and administration screens.</li>
</ul>

Meitar

Creates a simple, secure delegation system whereby a privileged user (such as an administrator) can assign other registered BuddyPress members to be “delegates” for a given user. A delegate has the capability to view and edit Extended Profile (XProfile) fields for the delegated user. This is useful on sites where certain relationships exist between one user and another, such as legal guardianship by an adult over a child. Using delegation reduces the need to share passwords or log in to shared accounts.

Roles and capabilities
This plugin uses the built-in capabilities system as part of WordPress core, along with core BuddyPress hooks (<code>bp_current_user_can</code>) to check for appropriate permissions, making it both simple to customize and as secure as WP and BP core code. The custom capabilities are:
<ul>
<li><code>edit_user_delegates</code> – Users with this capability can assign delegates for users they can edit (determined by <code>edit_users</code>).</li>
</ul>
Additionally, the following core capabilities are required:
<ul>
<li><code>list_users</code> – The delegation options implicitly enumerate all registered users, so a user must also have the <code>list_users</code> capability to be granted access to the Delegation user interface.</li>
<li><code>edit_users</code> – If you cannot <code>edit_users</code>, you cannot <code>edit_user_delegates</code>, either.</li>
</ul>
On a default WordPress and BuddyPress installation, these capabilities are granted only to Administrator users. However, this can be changed using the built-in capability filter hooks.

BP Delegated XProfile

Enables delegating a user's Extended Profile for editing by other users.
