How to remove change password link from django admin site?

I am using active directory login authentication for my django web application. So there is no need of change password link in admin site.

I have searched lot of article, but I haven't found any thing to hide change password link. So what is the way of hiding change password link from admin?

You don't need to override admin template.

If user.has_usable_password() returns False, then Django will not display change password URL for that user.

user.has_usable_password()can be made to return False by calling user.set_unusable_password().

From docs:

set_unusable_password()

Marks the user as having no password set. This isn’t the same as having a blank string for a password. check_password() for this user will never return True. Doesn’t save the User object.

You may need this if authentication for your application takes place against an existing external source such as an LDAP directory.

has_usable_password()

Returns False if set_unusable_password() has been called for this user.

Source code for condition filter in Django base admin template:

{% if user.has_usable_password %}
    <a href="{% url 'admin:password_change' %}">{% translate 'Change password' %}</a> 
{% endif %}
