Local users are the easiest way to start segregating users and leveraging some form of accountability. We will have a bigger administrative overhead, and clearly, this would not be the preferred solution. Instead, one would look to a centralized system, such as RADIUS or LDAP. However, local users are a good place for us to start.
Creating local users
