Managing users

A user is someone who has sufficient right to be the server administrator and/or be a general team member who works on a project file. A user can be assigned to one or more projects, and can be granted the permissions to read and/or update them. Moreover, selected users can be granted permission to administer (add/edit/remove) users or projects, so that the users can have all or part of the powers of a Teamwork Server administrator.
