Allow non-admin users to create projects

Question

I'm looking to allow non-admin users to create their own projects, i've found the option to set the default role for a non-admin who has created a project, but I cant find how to let them actually create the project, do I have to set a role for them somewhere? or is there a plugin I have to install?

Answer 1

It's there but not very intuitive. In order to have permissions in Redmine a user must be a member of a project first.

1. Give a Role the "Add Project" permission
2. Add the user as a Member to a project with that Role
3. Then the user should be able to see the "Add Project" link on the cross project list (/projects)

Answer 2

As of 2015 and Redmine 3.0 the answer to the question is rather simple and intuitive.

Go to: Administration > Roles and permissions > Non member

Check the "Create project" checkbox and save.

I realize the question is old, but I stumbled upon it from google, so it might help anyone in doubt it is that easy.
