How to add/edit users with meteor accounts and autoform - meteor

Question

I am building part of an admin system in Meteor that lets admins add/edit other admins. I am using Meteor Accounts and Autoform, but I can't figure out how to handle it so the users are validated with Autoform and saved properly. From what i've found it looks like I need to use the Accounts.createUser method and make the form a type="method" or something, but I'm not sure how to handle that or if that is even the correct way.
Here is my code right now:
Schema:
Schema = {};
Schema.UserProfile = new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: String,
label: "Name"
}
});
Schema.User = new SimpleSchema({
email: {
type: String,
regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email
},
password: {
type: String,
label: "Password",
min: 6
},
passwordConfirmation: {
type: String,
min: 6,
label: "Password Confirmation",
custom: function() {
if (this.value !== this.field('password').value) {
return "passwordMissmatch";
}
}
},
createdAt: {
type: Date,
autoValue: function() {
if (this.isInsert) {
return new Date;
} else if (this.isUpsert) {
return {$setOnInsert: new Date};
} else {
this.unset();
}
}
},
profile: {
type: Schema.UserProfile
},
services: {
type: Object,
optional: true,
blackbox: false
}
});
Meteor.users.attachSchema(Schema.User);
Routes:
Router.route('/admin/admins', {
controller: 'AdminController',
name: 'adminAdmins',
title: 'Admins',
parent: 'adminHome',
});
Router.route('/admin/admins/new', {
controller: 'AdminController',
name: 'adminAdminNew',
title: 'New Admin',
parent: 'adminAdmins',
});
Router.route('/admin/admins/:_id/edit', {
controller: 'AdminController',
name: 'adminAdminEdit',
title: 'Edit Admin',
parent: 'adminAdmins',
data: function() {
return Meteor.users.findOne(this.params._id);
}
});
Admin Form:
{{#autoForm collection="Meteor.users" doc=this id="adminAdminForm" type=formType}}
{{> afQuickField name='profile.name'}}
{{> afQuickField name='email'}}
{{> afQuickField name='password'}}
{{> afQuickField name='passwordConfirmation'}}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-block btn-secondary">Save Changes</button>
{{/autoForm}}

You should add Hooks to be able to modify the collection
Something that should look like this
AutoForm.hooks({
adminAdminForm: {
onSubmit: function (doc) {
schemas.User.clean(doc);
this.done();
return false;
},
onSuccess:function(operation, result, template){
Router.go('users.show',{'username':template.data.doc.username});
},
onError: function(operation, error, template) {
console.log(operation,error)
}
}
});
