New here, I did my research and found nothing, but sorry if it has already been asked.
As webmasters should be let google and other search engine INDEX our member's dashboard and edit account page.
For example my member John has access to a page name "Edit your account" where he can fill some fields and updates his info.
Or another pages where John can manage his posts (edit, delete)
Such pages have no interest to the other people so should be let google and others INDEX it or should we NOINDEX it ?
Thanks for your time !

Do not index them, those pages are not relevant for SERPs, there are hundreds of pages more relevant for people searching your site than Edit Your Profile or similar pages.
It's true that users need to log in before accessing to those pages, but Google can crawl and actually index something like "You need rights to access this page" unless you make sure you place nofollow to all of the links pointing there, maybe add it to your robots.txt, etc.
So to avoid all that, place a noindex meta tag and you won't have to worry about it any more.
