OpenProject Global Roles Plugin
This plugin adds global roles to OpenProject. A user can have a global role allowing to perform actions outside of the scope of a specific project normally only allowed for administrators. By assigning the permission to create projects to a global role, non-administrators can create top-level projects.
To create a global role, go to the Administration view, select "Roles and permissions" and click on "New Role". Afterwards, select the checkbox "Global Role" and choose the permissions for this role. From the plugin, only "Create project" is available. However, there are other plugins adding more permissions to be assigned to global roles.
The created global roles can be assigned to individual users in the added "Global Roles" tab of the user settings.
