Description
Hi,
I know there is already a feature to disable changing display name (which right now also disables changing the email): https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/16823.
I would like a feature to disable every thing, as users can change their profile stuff via another backend (and nextcloud is syncing username, etc. via ldap, sadly right now, not phone number, etc). So only readonly and everything from ldap.
Users could get confused if they change it in nextcloud and it is not reflected in other services.
This issue is also related:
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/11806 or here https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/16823

Research direction
Start by reading the related issues 16823 and 11806 to understand the existing restrictions on profile changes. Identify which personal fields are synchronized from LDAP and define the readonly behavior; done means users cannot change any LDAP-controlled personal information in Nextcloud.
