Override admin template with own template

Question

How can I override the following admin template in Craft 2?

craft/app/templates/users/_edit.html

I've tried placing the template in my own template directory, like:

templates/users/_edit.html

but this doesn't override Craft's own template.

Did you try templates/admin/users/_edit.html? – Syversen Aug 8 '17 at 12:13 — Syversen, Aug 8 '17 at 12:13

For that path, Craft would look for the following template files, and use the first one that exists:

As the users/_edit.html template in craft/app/templates will always exist, it will always find that first and use it.

This means it's impossible to override core templates? – Joost Aug 8 '17 at 14:09

yes, as far as I am aware you can't override core templates, there is a "cp.users.edit" template hook that might be useful, depending on your specific needs. – Mike Pepper Aug 8 '17 at 15:06
