Description

I am using the Nextcloud API to manage users from another application. Every time it refreshes their info, they are alerted that their password has changed. This is highly redundant in my case as they already know this from the other system.

Why arbitrarily block changing some email or push settings? If I want to do weird/dumb things, I should be allowed. :-)

Research direction

Start by tracing the Nextcloud API path that refreshes user information and the code that sends the “Your password or email was modified” alert. Determine where an opt-out can be applied without suppressing unrelated notifications; done means API-driven refreshes can disable this alert while ordinary changes still behave as expected.
