Prevent a user from changing his own name

#1

Hello everyone,

How is it possible to disable updating name and handle for users ?
I looked in the docs and here (admin/system/permissions), but didn’t come to any solution.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers !

Im guessing you’re referring to the profile screen?
I can confirm that the update permission is ignored on that screen, it is however respected on the Admin user editor. We’ll check it out and determine the proper action.

Yes, I’m talking about the profile screen.
I noticed that users can change their names to anything they want.

Thanks !

A config option to restrict it in the first place would be the ideal solution; however, an immediate solution could be a workflow that is triggered on update, sees if that field was changed, and just changes it back to the original value.

Has there been any movement on restricting the user’s ability to edit their own user profile (name, handle, etc.)?

No, there hasn’t, i don’t expect there to be any updates soon since it requires quite a bit of work.
