Moderators do have limited rights to edit some users profiles, this is so they can do some of the day to day running of the board, such as if a member forgets their password, or if there is someone folooding the board with messages, or other no good, they can temprorily suspend a users account.

If people can download your database then you need to follow the install instructions on how to secure your database outside of your web root so it can not be downloaded:-
