Managing Local users on this device is not allowed. Please use the APM active device
I get this message in this menu: Access ›› Authentication : Local User DB : Instances The "Create new instance" button is grey. I am on an active standalone device though... APM version 15.1.6...

Do you by chance have a device-group defined for this standalone device?
tmsh list cm device-group
If so, delete this and test again.

No device group, no.
cm device-group device_trust_group {
auto-sync enabled
devices {
bigip1 { }
}
network-failover disabled
}
cm device-group gtm {
devices {
bigip1 { }
}
network-failover disabled
}

Any chance it WAS part of an HA pair or sync-group, and then disconnected?

No it has always been standalone. I managed to create a database with a TMSH command, but not a user 😕

So interestingly enough, after testing a few things I ended up the same error message. But I was able to clear it with a reboot.
FWIW, the CLI syntax for create a localdb user is this:
ldbutil --add --uname="bob" --password="pass" \ --instance="/Common/my_test_db" \ --user_groups="" \ --login_failures="0" \ --change_passwd="0" \ --locked_out="0" \ --first_name="" \ --last_name="" \ --email=""
