What exactly do you want to restrict?  Just them changing the From: address,
or having identities at all?

I won't answer this until I know what your actual goal is (From: address
only, or really disable identities).

He was, I think, refering specifically to the ability to administratively
set/change peoples preferences/identities via Horde itself.  You could
obviously do this via some backend (e.g. if you save stuff in an sql
database, you could use sql to manipulate the identities).

So, if you can or can not do what you want depends on what you want.
What you want to restrict/change, and if you are willing to go outside
Horde to make the changes or not.
