# Local Users

Local users can be added to the local database to provide accounts for other administrators or for temporary users not listed in an external identity provider.

When you are ready to create and manage local user accounts, go to the [Configure local users](/v1/docs/configure-local-users-v6-7) section.

Once you have configured a local user, you can grant them administrator access to the admin UI by creating an [admin role](/v1/docs/admin-roles-v6-7).

## Action Buttons

Action buttons are accessed by clicking the three dots icon (![Three circular shapes stacked vertically on a dark background, selected to access a menu.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e7482ce5-acfa-4c3b-b76c-b6c32472644a/Images/Documentation/three_dots.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T22%3A03%3A05Z&se=2026-10-26T23%3A03%3A05Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=BTOq7wqYfVKFe%2F0G0Ho1IxCLwxnA89ZLW5kSYl4ho3s%3D)) to the right of each line item in the page or from the <Actions> button within the item. They are contextual, changing depending on the type of item and the state of the item. The Action button in the **Local Users** page displays the following option:

- ***Enable/disable user.*** This switch allows the user’s status to be set to *Enabled* or *Disabled*.
