You're welcome :)

I hope Marek forgives me if I answer on his behalf :) well, Account actually uses REST endpoint, but it not a part of Admin REST API.
The endpoint lives in org.keycloak.services.resources.account.AccountRestService (keycloak-services module), so you can examine it.

On realm settings -> login. There is only the option "edit username", but no option for "edit firstName / edit lastName / edit password".... 

>From the AccountRestService code we can deduce that there is no way ATM to selectively disable updating firstName / lastName / password.

But do I get it right that you simply want a read-only version of the Account GUI? Then I think there is a solution for your case, let me know.
