Local User Database Definition: A local user database is a repository on a system that stores user credentials and access privileges for authentication and authorization purposes within that specific system or network.
A Local User Database is a repository of user credentials and access permissions that is stored on a single device or system rather than being centrally managed. It allows for the authentication and authorization of users locally, without the need for external servers or networks. The database typically stores usernames, passwords, and user roles for granting or restricting access to resources on the local system or network.
