SmartViews Error “The specified table does not exist [sv_Users]” - On Premise Installations

SmartViews has an "On Premise" type of installation that allows customers to use a local SQL Server instead of the Azure cloud database.  

Depending on the version they are on, they may experience this error after updating to later versions:

“The specified table does not exist [sv_Users]” 

When this occurs, log into the database that is hosting SmartViews and look at the schema of sv_Users.  If it doesn't contain a column named "Group", then run the following query:

ALTER TABLE sv_Users
ADD [Group] nvarchar(50) NULL;

Once complete, the error should be resolved.
