[XB] User Edit Protected Groups 1.0.1

This add-on helps prevent accidental changes to selected secondary user groups when editing users in the XenForo admin control panel.

Choose which secondary groups to protect in the user options. Their membership checkboxes remain read-only until the administrator selects Allow modifications to protected user groups, adding an explicit confirmation step before memberships can be changed.

Features:​

• Configurable Protected Groups: Select the secondary user groups that require confirmation before editing.
• Explicit Editing Confirmation: Unlock protected group checkboxes by selecting Allow modifications to protected user groups in the user edit form.
• Visible Locked State: Protected checkboxes and their labels appear gray while locked, and the confirmation row has a distinct background and border.
• 🛡 Protection Against Accidental Changes: Reduce unintended additions and removals while managing accounts. This safeguard applies to secondary group checkboxes in the admin user edit form; it does not restrict primary group selection or group changes made elsewhere.

Useful for:​

• Communities with Multiple Administrators: Add a deliberate confirmation step when staff edit accounts with sensitive group memberships.
• Privileged or Restricted Groups: Help administrators avoid accidentally assigning or removing selected secondary groups during routine account updates.
