sharepoint2007

Hi Guys,

I have a requirement from a client with regards to user profile properties. The requirement is as follows:

We would like to setup custom user profile properties such that these values are editable by individuals via their my site. When a user edits this user profile property value, it should not be immediately visible to other users that happen to go to the individual's my site, but rather go through an approval workflow. If the value submitted is approved the user profile property value is updated.

As far as I know this is not possible. I do have a work around for this but I want to ensure that I haven't missed anything before going down this path.

Thanks in Advance
