hey there guys,

just a quick one, i have deleted the guest user, but now noticed that it was used for anyone to view just stats.

is there an easy way to get this user back or create it again? everytime i create it again the default policy for viewing is all deny. any easy way to get this user back so they got view access to the graphs only please.

thank you

Either change the default permissions for the user and restore the table from your last backup.

Goto the second tab while editing the user and set all the permissions to allow instead of deny and then resave the user.
