title: Can't change users project limit in GitLab
body: <p>I have installed GitLab-CE from the projects package repo on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system.</p>
  
  <p>The package version is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>8.9.5-ce.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The architecture is AMD64.</p>
  
  <p>I have configured everything fine. I have HTTPS and so on. I created my admin account and so on. Now I would like to create projects and here the problems start. When I try to create a project I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Limit reached Personal project creation is not allowed. 
  Please contact your administrator with questions
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I Googled what to do. First I changed the default project limit for new users. Actually it's 1000. This doesn't solved the problem.<br>
  So I checked the project limit of my account. It's 0. Very strange I thought..... so I tried to change it also to 1000.<br>
  GitLab says it saved the settings successfully but...... it's still 0 and can't be changed.<br>
  Also I can't set the ability to create groups. The above error still appears and I don't know how to solve this.</p>
  
  <p>Does someone has an idea how to do so? Only thing I would think is to change it in the DB directly but I think this would be very dirty.</p>
