Prevent password resets or changes to specific users or user roles. User-specific exceptions to the sweeping user roles can be set. The user’s password is then protected from modification:

  • In the user’s profile editor
  • Using the password reset link in the login window

The settings are available to either the super admin on the network, or normal admins on a single installation. If you wish to hide the settings completely, put the following in your wp-config.php:

define( 'PLAINVIEW_PROTECT_PASSWORDS_HIDE', true );

Requires PHP 5.4.
