    Have to manually assign administrator privileges to the project for the user.

A given user is the organization owner. Whenever this user creates a project they are no longer admin for the project. How can we enable to creator to be default admin?

Hello @DevSLX,

I assume that the given user is the owner of the organization both on
the SonarCloud and GitHub organization.

If that is the case you should see something like the following screenshot when browsing to your created project and clicking on Administration > Permissions.

As you can see from this screenshot organization owners by default have administer rights on any project in their organization. This behaviour can be altered by navigating to your organization and clicking on Administration > Permission Templates.

Hope that helps,
Tom
