Currently domain admin is allowed to change password in iRedAdmin-Pro. I don't understand why disallow this?

Re: Disable password change for dmain admin?

I sorted it out - the reason is a support person was trying to change a user's password, and by mistake ended changing the domain admin's password, which locked all admins out. I had to reset it using the global admin account.

I ended up doing this in templates/default/layout.html
Replaced:

<li><a href="{{ctx.homepath}}/profile/{%if session.get('admin_is_mail_user') %}user{%else%}admin{%endif%}/general/{{session.get('username')}}">{{ _('Preferences') }}</a></li>


with

{% if session.get('is_global_admin') %}
    <li><a href="{{ctx.homepath}}/profile/{%if session.get('admin_is_mail_user') %}user{%else%}admin{%endif%}/general/{{session.get('username')}}">{{ _('Preferences') }}</a></li>
{% endif %}

That does what I need.
