 * It seems, as Admin, I have the right to change others profiles and even passwords.
   I do I turn off that right? Thanks.

 * A user with ‘Administrator’ role can anything at WordPress managed site.
    If 
   you need to reduce a power of a user which fulfills some administrative tasks,
   create a copy of administrator role and switch off unneeded capabilities for 
   that role. For example in order to prohibit to such admin editing user profiles–
   turn OFF the ‘edit_users’ capability.
 * Note: Do not include any capability started with ‘ure_’ to such role. These capabilities
   give access to the User Role Editor.
