I've just committed the attached patch to SVN.  It adds a '-P'
command-line option to SWAT.  Running swat -P will now do what you asked
about above -- only show the "Password" menu to read-only users.  Please
test it, and let us know if it works out for you.  Cheers,

I am flawed but I am cleaning up so well.
