Description
This plugin allows you to block specific users from accessing or changing their user profile.
A field is added to the user profile page to enable banning that user from editing/changing their user profile. User profile edit/change is allowed for roles that have \’edit-user\’ (administrator, etc); those users will not have the ‘blocking’ option on their user profile page.
With that field added to the user profile screen, an administrator can set any user to not be able to access their profile settings. Users will see a message that they are unable to edit their profiled. Administrator-level users will not see that extra field.
Another option will send an email to the admin whenever a profile is changed. This email will include all fields from the form, including any new password, so your administrator should be careful with that information when received. This is useful for sites that have a ‘generic’ user account that is used by many. You don’t want someone to change that password.
Installation

- Note: do a \”Save\” on the Server Side Analytics page once after an upgrade to ensure all is well; your settings will be preserved.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is useful if you want to prevent users from accessing their user profile, such as changing their password. A blocked user won’t be able to access their User Profile page.
An administrator – or anyone with the ‘edit-user’ privileges – will not have that blocking field on thier user profile page. If that was allowed, then that administrative level user could not edit their own user profile. It would require direct access to the user database.
Yes. The notification email, if enabled, will go to the email address specified in the Settings, General screen.
The email will include the current contents/settings of all fields. Text fields that have had a change will also be sent.
This includes the password field, so be careful about who gets the email. There is a possibility of personal or security information being sent in clear text in that email.
All fields on the user profile page are sent. The administrator may want to know if a password has changed, and if the password meets their security requirements.
Or, for a site that has a ‘generic’ user ID used by many people, the administrator will want to know when that password has changed, as that change would affect all people that used that generic user id.
Not at this time, but it may be a future feature. Right now, the extra field is put on all user profiles that have the ‘edit-user’ privilege.
Not at this time, but that is also a possible future feature. With this version, the email is the one specified on the Settings, General screen.
