Sorry, no, Connections does not use the WP Users for its directory entries. I believe it is better for monetization to use a membership plugin like Restrict Content Pro for monetization where having the ability to be listed in the directory is only one benefit of the membership vs the being the only benefit. For user / directory entry management there is the Link extension which will link a WP user to a Connections entry so the WP user can manage their own entry. Upon registration, however, their entry is not automatically added, the user must choose to add their entry.

Hope my answer makes sense and helps!
