Issue 3591: Administrator cannot revert Project Options->State after its "Hidden"
Status:  AwaitingInformation
Owner: ----
Reported by eps2...@gmail.com, Oct 2, 2015
Affected Version:  2.11.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log in as Gerrit Administrator
2. Select Projects->List
3. Select a project (eg. Project-A)
4. In Project-A, select Project Options->State to Hidden
5. Reload Projects->List 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output should be all projects listed for Administrator, but the project selected as hidden is missing. For any User this would be expected, but for the Administrator this is debilitating because the Administrator cannot revert the project's state back to Active or Read-Only.

Please provide any additional information below.
The only way to revert the project's state back to Active or Read-Only is via command-line:
   ssh -p [port #] [username@server] gerrit set-project [Project Name] --project-state ACTIVE

And, this is performed by ANY USER, thereby, circumventing Administrator controls.

Even if a project is hidden, you should still be able to directly access it via the URL.  It's just not included in the list.
