Adding a User Account to the Local Database
This section describes how to manage users in the local database and includes the following topics:

Guidelines

The local database is used for the following features:
ASDM per-user access
Console authentication
Telnet and SSH authentication.
enable command authentication
This setting is for CLI-access only and does not affect the ASDM login.
Command authorization
If you turn on command authorization using the local database, then the ASA refers to the user
privilege level to determine which commands are available. Otherwise, the privilege level is not
generally used. By default, all commands are either privilege level 0 or level 15.
Network access authentication
VPN client authentication
For multiple context mode, you can configure usernames in the system execution space to provide
individual logins at the CLI using the login command; however, you cannot configure any AAA rules
that use the local database in the system execution space.
