[ARCHIVED] How to remove "Change Password" profile option

[morgan_j]

Wondering if anyone has figured out a way to remove the "Change Password"option when a user clicks on "Account > Settings > Edit Setting" from within their profile?  We have a case for our Continuing Education department where we need this removed, but I cannot find a way to do this.  Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Jeff!

There isn't an official way to disable this on the front end of the instance. There may be some way with some behind the scenes code to hide it, but I believe that would be a global action which I'm not sure you'd want to do. Regardless, I'll share this with the https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/canvas-developers?sr=search&searchId=8d1c6447-9a10-472d-8370-...‌ group. They may have more tricks up their sleeves! Additionally, it may not hurt to reach out to your CSM to see if they can ask around for you. There may be some code out there that another Implementation consultant used in another institutions account that could be shared with you. If neither of these provide the answer you need, you may be able to simply create a Feature Idea! (see the https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-1330-how-do-i-create-a-new-feature-idea?sr=search&searchId=...‌ and the https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-2109-how-does-the-voting-process-work-for-feature-ideas?sr=...‌ guides for more info.) Potentially phrased as a "Change Password Toggle".

Hope this helps!

Thank you Roxanne.  I did end up contacting my CSM and she provided me the code to make this happen.  We wanted to do this globally, so this worked for us.  Appreciate your response.

Hey Jeff,

I believe we do this using some custom css and javascript, I'm not sure the details but I can find out. If you already do this, the person in charge of the files would need to update their file(s)...I can check with our web developer and see if I can get a copy of the code for you.

Thanks for your reply Ben.  I did end up getting the code, so we are good!  🙂

Thank you Zak!  The code you have is what my CSM provided me that did the trick.
