When users who have an authorisation to login in the backend and also there ip adress is on the whitelist, login from the frontend and using the standard Joomla login form with a different user name and password, they get extra pages.
'normal' users do not get these extra pages.
one of the pages is the possibility to change their password.
When disabling the admin tools modules these extra pages do not show.

Admin Tools does NOT change the user permissions and does not interact with Joomla's core features regarding user management (the com_users core Joomla component).

What you are describing sounds like a menu item permissions, i.e. how Joomla works. Check your menus for items with the Special privilege. Assuming that you have not changed the Special user group that ships with Joomla by default, these menu items will be displayed only to people in the Manager, Administrator and Super User groups.

Again, this has nothing to do with Admin Tools. It is how Joomla itself, with or without Admin Tools, works.

Thanks very much for your most valued answer.
Indeed this is caused by the permission in the menu item -
Thanks for the lessons!
