How do I disable password change for a particular Splunk user via Splunk Web?

I know that we can disable password change for all Splunk users by running the following command on the Search Head:

touch $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/.ui_login

However, I'd like to disable password change via Splunk Web for only one user. Is this possible?

You would probably have to create a custom role on the search head for the user and create that role without the change_own_password capability.
