Completely disable editor

Why not use custom post types and don’t add any support for the editor, that is afterall what they are for and the easiest way . The answer in this post covers how to do that,

Hide content box with Custom Post Type?

To remove that functionality for pages or posts (and custom types) you can try and use remove_post_type_support . For pages; 

add_action('init', 'my_remove_editor_from_post_type');
function my_remove_editor_from_post_type() {
    remove_post_type_support( 'page', 'editor' );
}

A hacky solution is to use CSS display:none; for the #editorcontainer or one of the sub id or classes. You can also then enqueue that style only for particular users.
