Is there a way to reset the permissions of a specific project

A project was import on a server with View and Delete permissions set in a way that we can't open or delete the project anymore.

It is not a big issue as we can export the project, and import in a new one, and delete the project from the server folder

Question is: Is there a better way to reset the permissions on a project than creating a new one?

Create a user with all the roles, as the project properties require one role to be selected atleast

Roles come from our IdP (Okta), and are specific by server, so roles are not the same, and I can't have the required roles.

Was more wondering if there is a project file containing those permissions we can delete, or is it in IDB file

You could delete the `global-props` resource folder, but it wipes more than just the project permissions - you'd have to set up the default database and stuff like that again.
