Aha.

I am logged on as the admin user and my selected project is Tech 
Support. As per the Manage Users page, the Assigned Projects and Roles 
show me with No Access to the Default Project and Manger access to the 
Tech Support project. I don't see any selection option for Administrator 
role in the dropdowns. I'm puzzled about No Access giving me _more_ 
privilege than Manager! :)

When I change my selected project to Default Project, I see that the 
roles change: now I show as Administrator for Default Project and 
Manager for Tech Support. I also see an Administrator option in the 
dropdown. Resetting the TS role to Admin and selecting the TS project, I 
now see the Configuration picks at the upper left.

I think there's an ugly implication here. If I were to delete the 
Default Project without making me an administrator for another project, 
what would happen? Answer: I would not be able to access the Config 
picks. (I just did this - am I hosed? Yup, probably have to reinstall or 
go hack the DB using phpMyAdmin! :) Seems like this ought to go pretty 
high on your list of things to fix. My initial inclination upon 
installation was to delete the Default Project right away after I 
created my tech support project.
