[ome-users] Prevent a user from changing their own password?

[Will Moore]

Hi John,

Will you be providing this account username and password to external users, to log in with Insight / web? 
If so, then I don't know of a way you can currently prevent them changing their password, although others might have some ideas.

In the case where we have "public" user exposed via auto-login through the web framework, the user never gets to know their password or to log in, and we prevent them visiting the webadmin pages via a url filter as described

 Cheers,

  Will.

Is it possible to lock down this user account within Omero, so that the user is not able to change their own password?  We would envisage that a password change should only be done by an administrator – is this something that can be achieved?
