Do Not Allow Users to Change Passwords

[sishiwara]

I would like to restrict users from changing their passwords. Is there any way to do this?

I'm building the user table from my other general user table, so I don't want them changing their passwords.

Well you could just disable it using the templates.

1. Go Admin CP -> Templates -> Manage Templates -> General -> changepassword and change it to the following :-

	<{displaytemplate name="header"}>

	<table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	<tr><td align="left" valign="top">

You are not permitted to change your password.

	</td><td width="5"><img src="<{$themepath}>space.gif" width="5" height="1"></td></tr>
	</table>
  <{displaytemplate name="footer"}>

2. Go Manage Templates again but this time go General -> navbar. Find the following :-

						  <div class="navitem" onMouseOver="javascript:this.className='navitemhover';" onMouseOut="javascript:this.className='navitem';"><img src="<{$themepath}>icon_lock.gif" align="absmiddle" />&nbsp;<a href="index.php?_m=core&_a=changepassword"><{$language[changepassword]}></a></div>

and delete it.
