To get administrator rights, a user must be a member and admin of the
administrator project. The name of this project you defined during the
installation of Savannah. Look into your /etc/savannah/savannah.conf.pl file
for the value of the $sys_unix_group_name variable, if you forgot what you
chose.
As the logged in user (which is still unprivileged as of now), use the
"Register New Project" Link on the left menu panel. This will lead you
through a number of screens. It is important that you select for the
project's system name (on the third or fourth form) the exact name you chose
for the $sys_unix_group_name variable.
Once you complete the forms, you should be granted admin rights (i.e. the
project you submitted should be made active without further intervention! If
this does not happen, there is an error). You have to reload the page or jump
to another page inside of Savannah to see the administrator options activated
on the left menu panel.
The installation process of Savannah is rather cumbersome. Hopefully it will
improve a bit over time, but it is usually not the first priority, because
most of the available work goes into the front end, which is exposed to the
users.
Regards,
Derek
