BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I am fairly new to buddypress and cannot seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.
(I also tried the search but it didn´t help that much as I am not much of a programmer)

I have a website with a restricted area. It runs buddypress with extended profiles.

It is not possible for new users to register themselves, adding users should only be done by an administrator. (company reasons)

but, when I try to add a new user using the dashboard, I dont get access to the extended fields I added.
When I click into an existing user via the dashboard, I also don´t see those extended fields.
they do however show up when the user logs into the site himself.

what am I missing ?
thanks in advance.
regards,
LD
