wordpress add settings to user page

Question

I would like to add a field to the user profile edit page in wordpress. The field should consist of one checkbox and should only be edited by the 'admin'.

Does anyone have an idea where I can find this or how I can do this?

I have searched through the entire Wordpress codex however i couldn't find anything helpful..

Thanks a lot!

Hi

I was just reading this article on how to do what you have mentioned above i.e. adding a field for a user profile. The article goes through each step as to what is required and how that process can be done. If you are familiar with php/html you should be able to make this change fairly quickly.
