The culprit is the "project_management" right, which gives you this access. This right is enabled both in the project manager and the administrator role.

I am beginning to wonder if the fact that I was part of the project at the beginning is not the issue.
I checked the tables in the DB but failed to see a link between my profile and this project.

I thought it was in acx_project_users, the link between user_id and project_id. It would seem I am wrong or that it's a cache issue... (I'll clean the cache and report...).

I just don't see the added value here.

davidm:
I noticed one thing which seems strange to me (maybe it's intended) : if I am an admin, the dashboard displays the new / updated and Late /Today and Recent activities of projects I am not even a member of... it's kind of annoying because it diverts me from the projects I am a part of.

Has anyone noticed it ?


As an administrator you have access to all the projects in the system. If you find that distracting create an account that does not have administration or project management permissions and you'll see only the stuff you are working on.

Brandon, thanks for the suggestions :)

On the project-specific dashboard, I'd get rid of the 'show me' section - it's in the most prominent place on the page, but has the RSS feed link and an iCalendar link. Huh? I'd move milestones to the top left column and follow that with upcoming or high priority tasks assigned to the user. The RSS and iCal links can go over in the project ID block in the right column.
