Hello Guys,

We have a password change problem at our AWS Managed Opensearch internal dashboard.  
We use internal user database, but we want to disable the password reset functionality for the shared users, to avoid unintentional changes.  
Is there a way to achive this via the UI or via the API? After a quick search we found it’s not directly supported, but you might suggest some workaround for this problem.

Thanks,  
Matthew

@Matthew_Smith currently there doesn’t appear to be a way to achieve this. Even using stand alone OpenSearch, as `_plugins/_security/api/account` is not covered by `restapi.endpoints_disabled`. I would suggest to raise a feature request for this [here](https://github.com/opensearch-project/security/issues)
