These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# Restrict name and email changes

|
|
## Restrict name changes
|
|
|
|
By default, any user can [change their name](/help/change-your-name).
|
|
You can instead prevent users from changing their name. This setting is
|
|
especially useful if user names are managed via an external source, and
|
|
synced into Zulip via the [Zulip API](/api), [LDAP][ldap-sync-data] or
|
|
another method.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can always [change anyone's
|
|
name](/help/change-a-users-name).
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-permissions}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **User identity**, select **Prevent users from changing their
|
|
name**.
|
|
|
|

{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Restrict email changes
|
|
|
|
By default, any user can [change their email address][change-email].
|
|
However, you can instead prevent users from changing their email
|
|
address. This setting is especially useful for organizations that
|
|
are using [LDAP][ldap-sync-data] or another single sign-on solution
|
|
to manage user emails.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can always change their own email
|
|
address.
