Re: [Testbed-admins] problem adding the first non-admin user in Emulab 5.0

[Jonathan Walsh <jonathan.d.walsh@lmco.com>]

The newest version of the Emulab SW does not allow users who are not 
admins be in the same projects as users who are admins.  If I recall 
correctly the reason for this was it would allow non-admins to get admin 
keys, etc.
