THE LOCAL DOMAIN
       In order to function correctly, a domain with “id_provider=local” must
       be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of
       traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing
       and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to
       store users and groups.
