Description
In the Members tab under project settings, below the current project users are the "New Member" controls. As of Redmine 0.8 the "Role" drop-down defaults to "Administrator" and the default user is whoever happens to be first alphabetically. So it is just one button click to mistakenly add a new admin user. Or alternatively one missed drop-down select followed by one button click (which is how I noticed this problem).
The Role drop-down should be changed do default to the lowest privilege role. If Redmine doesn't know exactly what lowest privilege would be, then perhaps there should be an option to set the default role. Out of the box it would be set to "reporter".
