just started with PP. I think it's really helpul. Here is my question: How can people (non-admin) add new users to their project? Is it possible at all?

I don't think that it's possible right now, there seem to be only three levels of administration, admin, company member and client member. We should definitely have a "client administrator" role that allows thtem to create new users in the client company, or at least offer it among the available permissions in the user permissions thing.
I hink we should rethink the whole roles in PP (as Ilija did in aC 1.0 for a good reason) - the current setup is functional but depends too much on the admin, who IMHO should only take care of the overall installation.
Therefore we might need an Engagement Mgr (responsible for all projects with one client/in one account) and the Project Mgr who should be able to add people to his project too.
If we add more functions like time tracking / invoicing etc, we might need a Project Controller role too (could be part of the Project Mgr role).
But this has to be vrey well thought before starting to do changes.
I agree with Roland. In addition to there being an "administrator" user for each client/company. Additionally, the overall admin/owner should have the ability to grant that client-admin the provilage of creating their own projects.
Currently my situation calls for the client user to create projects.
Yeah, something like a project manager and a client manager would be cool.
I need somebody to be able to add projects and people without being able to see the entire administrator area. These people need to see their projects and have permission to administrate them.
A project manager/client manager can be assigned following permissions by the administrator:
Administrate a project
Start a project
Delete a project
Add people to a project
Remove people from a project
Change people's permission
...
just a few ideas from my perspective (I'm definetly not able to see the big picture of PP, so this could be all really bad ideas)
When you say "project manager", I think you mean the role of being able to manage the projects inside PP (add, delete...)
I think it would be nice to also have the notion of project leader, so that the person responsible for a specific project can be identified easily in the 'people' page.
A project leader could only be marked with a blue dot or any recognizable mark. I suppose s/he would be able to add people to the project. But he doesn't have to be able to add new project or anything like that.
The client companies should also be able to designate a point of contact on their side.
In itself, it's not really a feature but more like a user-interface addition :)

Hello! I'm having the same issue: working with a company, they would like to be able to have a single user at the Client level be able to add users to their corresponding projects. As is, the administrators are only able to do this. When the Client would like 20+ users associated with its project, this becomes time-consuming for the administrator, who is then going to have to input all these data themselves over multiple clients making the same requests. I wonder if someone has come up with a mod or update to permit clients to be granted an additional permission to add users to projects to which they've been assigned.
Anyone has a solution, I'd be glad if you could let me know!

I created a ticket for this problem at the issue tracker.
