In WordPress, how to disable admin access to adding plugins

on WordPress website, how to disable anyone, including all admins to add new plugins. I want to be able to add plugins only via ftp, so no one can add them from WordPress menu.

Is there a custom function for this or any similar code? I searched but could not find any simple solution without any plugins that restrict access. I need solution without any extra plugin.

Thanks a lot.

    Add this to your functions.php file. Get the specific users and remove their roles.

    <?php

// Get users with this role/s.
$users = get_users( array(
    'role'    => 'administrator',
    // 'role__in' => array( 'administrator', 'editor' )
) );

foreach( $users as $user ):
    $user = new WP_User( $user->ID );
    $user->add_cap( 'install_plugins' );
endforeach;

    Just remember when the capability is removed then it is gone for good. If you change your mind you can use this to add the capability again.

    $users = get_users( array(
    'role'    => 'administrator',
) );

foreach( $users as $user ):
    $user = new WP_User( $user->ID );
    $user->add_cap( 'install_plugins' );
endforeach;

    To disable plugin installation in wordpress admin panel, the following code can be put in file "wp-config.php".

    define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true);

    It can be checked, if it works.
