Summary	0007919: administrator no forced member of any project (allow unsubscribe)
Description	administrator accounts are automatically members of all projects It would be nice if administrators could be unsubscribed/subscribed like all other users. Of course adminitrators have all privileges here. This would make life easier for multi project installations where multiple administrators work. Administrators could exclude projects where they are not interested in. They should always be able to access a bug by number (direct access) but projects where they are not subscribed should not be visible in the projects line (or projects combo) and those projects should not be searched (filters etc). Projects should be listed in administration pages, of course. Workaround would be: change administrator accounts to "manager" and give managers as many privileges as administrators (I guess there are some hard-coded things why managers cannot do anything administrators can).
Tags	No tags attached.

The latter one is a regular user that can just be subscribed to the projects they are working on, while the former is used for administration tasks.
