Hi there

Hoping someone can advise on the best course of action to deal with someone 
accidentally deleting our administrator eperson account.  
Luckily we have another one with admin privileges as well so can still 
perform admin functions but I am worried that deleting the original one 
will have functional consequences.
 
We are on Dspace 7.6 and migrated/copied over our dspace 6.3 PostGres 
database plus have a dev/test server where the account still exists so I 
have the eperson data, plus epersongroup2eperson data that is likely to 
still be current from the database.
However there will have been other tables with associations to that 
eperson_id to try and re-populate.  Is there a list somewhere of all the 
tables where that eperson would typically be referenced?
Is it relatively safe to insert an eperson to the database via SQL (We have 
a DBeaver interface we use to query the database etc.) or should we be 
creating the account fresh via the admin GUI?  
We do keep postgres database backups but I have never had to load any 
before and am not all that confident to reload from backup (alas our most 
experienced dspace colleague is away on holiday) and don't want to risk 
losing new submission added since last backup.

Be fantastic to get some advice around how to handle this.

Kind Regards,

Romy
