2 ) Under the Generators Configuration section, check the Available to Users boxes for the statistics software you would like cPanel users to be able to enable

3 ) Click the Save button within the Generators Configuration section

The User Permissions section provides options to allow all users the ability to enable statistics software or give only chosen users this ability.

Allow all users to enable statistics software:

1 ) Check the Allow all users to change their web statistics generating software. box

2 ) Click the Save button within the Users Permissions section

Choose which users can enable statistics software:
