Accidentally removed Plesk Linux user

Toxiro

New Pleskian
Hello,

when I installed Plesk on my new Ubuntu 12.04 vServer I had to create 2 accounts for Plesk. The default admin account and a so called webspace account. First of all, is this normal behaviour that you have to create two accounts?

I used toxiro as username for the webspace account.

So now when I f.e. add a new domain or subdomain Plesk with the admin account, it always shows "System user: toxiro" and not admin.

The problem is now that I wanted to create a new Linux user toxiro "adduser toxiro" and I did not realize that the user already existed and that Plesk was using this system user. Later I removed the user again "deluser toxiro".

Now my question is how I can add this user again or more which groups does it need?

At the moment I cannot access my domains because of permission issues, what makes perfect sense.
