Thank you for your response.
As far as I can tell, the Star Rating field is to be applied to a Form or a Post.
I am exploring the possibility of using this to rate a registered user (having a specific role). Let me elaborate with an example:
1. Site has few "authors", who publish articles.
2. Currently, the ratings are possible for said articles. Every singular article can have n count of ratings, yielding an average rating eventually.
3. But, is there a way to rate the author? The possibility would then give a use case of averaging "all" articles' ratings, assigned to the author. In other words, the author's popularity or credibility can be a metric that can be generated.

Grateful if you can point me in the direction of using FF to achieve the above use case (point 3 above). I am a newbie WP developer and am lost for ideas and could not find anything in the documentation nor these Forums.

If you are using FF user registration addon you could add a star ratings field to the registration form, and then use these directions to create a view that displays the form, but only include the star rating field to be clicked on in the form.
