How to check the box 'User cannot change password' programmatically

Hi Everyone

Happy new year to all.

I am trying to expand on a previous bash workflow I had, which is a mix of shell scripts and front end uploads, to create users on bulk. These users are already in AD. There is a checkbox on the web UI under User management, one that says 'User cannot change password'. I need to check this whenever a new user is created. I have looked at all the DB tables, but cannot find that flag anywhere. Is there a way I will be able to set that flag through an SQL statement? If so, could anyone point me to where in the DB this setting is stored?

Regards and TIA

You can simply search the codebase for the term and follow the code. When modifying the codebase you are always on your own as you are deviating from core. The code is open source and publicly available on Github. Github has a great search feature, a code tree, and even a cool code references feature. You will proceed at your own risk. Good luck!

Cheers.
