Answers.Text: yes, as far as I am aware you can't override core templates, there is a `"cp.users.edit"` [template hook](https://craftcms.com/classreference/services/TemplatesService#hook-detail) that might be useful, depending on your specific needs.

Title: Override admin template with own template
ThreadText: # Override admin template with own template
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-08-08)
  
  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.

  For that path, Craft would look for the following template files, and use the first one that exists:
  
  * `craft/app/templates/users/_edit`
  * `craft/app/templates/users/_edit.html`
  * `craft/app/templates/users/_edit.twig`
  * `craft/app/templates/users/_edit/index.html`
  * `craft/app/templates/users/_edit/index.twig`
  * `craft/plugins/users/templates/_edit`
  * `craft/plugins/users/templates/_edit.html`
  * `craft/plugins/users/templates/_edit.twig`
  * `craft/plugins/users/templates/_edit/index.html`
  * `craft/plugins/users/templates/_edit/index.twig`
  
  [[source](https://craftcms.com/classreference/services/TemplatesService#findTemplate-detail)]
  
  As the `users/_edit.html` template in `craft/app/templates` will always exist, it will always find that first and use it.
