Front-end Admin Form w/limited functionality to update user records

Hello,

I have a complex problem I’d love feedback on.

So I have created a custom user role (Lab Tech), and I would like to create a form for them to look up and update user records.

The caveats being:

1. I only want them to be able to look up users by a custom field value (not email address)
2. I only want them to be able to see values for and edit 6 other custom fields, and save the values they insert into those fields. I cannot have them see any other fields associated with the user record (not email, name, etc., nothing else).

Example:
Lookup User: [custom field value] {submit}
{Display Only These fields}
Custom Field 1: [display value, even if blank] {able to update}
Custom Field 2: [display value, even if blank] {able to update}
Custom Field 3: [display value, even if blank] {able to update}
Custom Field 4: [display value, even if blank] {able to update}
Custom Field 5: [display value, even if blank] {able to update}
Custom Field 6: [display value, even if blank] {able to update}
[save to user record]

I realize this is difficult as Lookup usually goes by email address, first and last name, etc.

Any feedback would be amazing!

Thanks
