According to our documentation (Configure field layout in the issue view), a Project Administrator and a Jira Administrator can change the issue layout from a project.
Just keep in mind that a Project Administrator is a Permission you can define on Permission Schemes and you can restrict this access by reducing the number of users with the permission on the project.
So, if you noticed a user changing the issue layout when it shouldn't, you can take a look on this Project Permission and remove this permission for this user. You might need to remove this user from a group, or a role or you'll have to remove a group or role from the Permission Scheme associated with that project.
This turned out to be operator error on my part. Once I limited access to the "Administer Projects" permission in the permission scheme for this project, the capability was removed from the project members that were making the changes.
