creating a new project from CRM module

creating a new project from CRM module

just tried to start a new project from the CRM potential and a window popped up saying 

 The portal owner has been changed. You need to configure another portal and update the portal settings.

I am not the admin for the Project module but surely every user of the CRM system should be able to set set up a project once a job has been won.

thoughts please?

Thank you
