If so is there a way to revert back to the previous versions. He may have just hit the Upgrade Plugin button for the specific plugin.  Not sure and I did not want to test it and mess up my configuration.

I basically want to prevent a user from upgrading any plugin that we access so that this does not happen.  Is there a way to disable "Upgrade All" and "Upgrade Plugin" buttons in the plugin window through settings, interface customization, or programmatically through python on QGIS using startup.py?

I'd suggest in this situation that you should instead be either
working with the VisibilityAnalysis maintainers to get the latest
version compatible with your needs, or alternatively fork parts of the
1.7 code into your plugin so that you aren't dependent on another
maintainer's work.

Trying to workaround this by blocking plugin updates is going to be a
fragile path, likely taking much longer than either of the above
suggestions.
