Hello Thomas!
Thanks for the report!

The behaviour you report is intentional.
Now, I will explain the reason and you can give us feedback about its coherence.

---

The view in “*/projects/” is NOT the “All projects” view, it is the “My projects” view.
Having this said, any user will be able to see, in this view, the projects it is involved with.

Admins are super users that have access to the “All projects” view under the “Administration” panel.
As such, Admins can manage projects in which they are not part of, or add themselves if pretended.

The reason of this separation is that, Admins will see in the “My projects” view only the projects they are interested on.
In instances with many projects this is extremely helpful.

‌

Let me know if you have further questions, otherwise, you can close the ticket

Best regards,
Gabriel

Follow-up

I just checked and it is actually not possible to add yourself to a project.
We are currently checking that situation.

Follow-up 2:

We started working on fixing this issue of adding one-self to a project if you are an Admin.
We will give you an update as soon as it is done.
