Configuring Local Users
Local users are users stored and managed on the SonicWall network security appliance’s local database. In Users > Local Users & Groups, you can view and manage all local users, add new local users, and edit existing local users. You can also import users from your LDAP server.

| Expand/Collapse icons | By default, only the local user’s username is listed. Clicking the Expand icon displays the groups to which the local user belongs. |
