Cannot transfer / reassign a project

SYMPTOMS:
When a user right clicks on project editor, the reassign project feature is grayed out. 
 
REASON:
The reason the reassign project feature is grayed out is because the project manager has to enable the option on the project.


RESOLUTION:
When a project plan editor takes ownership of a project, the project plan editor becomes the project manager and the project manager becomes a project plan editor. Project managers can take back ownership of a project when necessary.
