Lauryn Menard dedea23745 help-docs: Move help center documentation to top level directory.
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

{!admin-only.md!}

Restrict name changes

By default, any user can change their 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, LDAP 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.

{!save-changes.md!}

{end_tabs}

Restrict email changes

By default, any user can change their email address. However, you can instead prevent users from changing their email address. This setting is especially useful for organizations that are using LDAP or another single sign-on solution to manage user emails.

!!! tip ""

Organization administrators can always change their own email
address.

{start_tabs}

{settings_tab|organization-permissions}

  1. Under User identity, select Prevent users from changing their email address.
