Recovering User Deleted by PLEX

Hello,

I just ran into an issue were one of my friends added me incorrectly to have access to his PMS. I got added as a home user to his server. This cause my managed users to be deleted. I tried to restore from a backup but it appears the Managed users are stored else where so the users didn’t come back with the restore. I tried recreating the user and then restoring the DB but it didn’t bring back the watched list. I am guessing I would have to work some magic in the database. I have already poked around a little using a copy of one of my backups. I have run a few update statements to move stuff over to the new account ID but when I load it back into PMS the data I update gets deleted which makes me think I have just missed a table or missed inserting a row. If someone can direct me to what places to look an make sure the values needed have been updated or inserted it would be greatly appreciated. (I am very familiar with working with SQL)

Did you solve this? I just had the exact same experience. All 8 managed users gone, didn’t come back after I restored appdata from a backup. Years of history gone!
