Crimson: Project Admin Access Settings

In addition to User Groups, Crimson users can be assigned different Access Settings to enable additional access.  One of these settings is Project Admin.  Project Admin allows you to manage other users for your Database.  You can create other Project Admins, remove and update User access, and add Users.
