Comment:

 I've managed to implement a workaround on my plugin that changes the
 substituted link based upon the user capability level in WordPress.


 {{{
 if (current_user_can('manage_options')) {
         $this->s2form = $this->use_profile_admin; //use admin form link
 } else {
         $this->s2form = $this->use_profile_users; //use users form link
 }
 }}}

 From my point of view though this is still something that could be tidie
 up in the backend as linking in to 2 menus for 1 purpose that only changes
 depending on user capability seems backwards. It also generates
 essentially unecessary code in plugins.
