EmployeeAny 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=""- Fab
I get the same error message after a reboot. And when I try to type the command I get this message:
Managing Local users on this device is not allowed. Please use the device
