In the past I just linked to the page in the admin, but that

And it may be a pain to create project memberships manually.
Perhaps the Django admin is customizable enough to fix this,
but for now I'll just code it myself. At least this way I can make sure
no one (but me) makes any major errors and destroys the site
First check if the user is a superuser..."""
