user auth - AD or Local or Both?

Hello,

New bloke here.

I read a lot of How To do a thing in XGS, but not why...

What would be the intended purpose of a duplicated Administrator Local User and AD user?

Is it redundancy in case the AD is unavailable?

Should the default administrator be authenticated Local only?

I presume the password in the local user needs to kept up to date manually? [This seems imperfect and open to drama]

Is there a best practice explanation guide about authentication methods for users and administrators?
