External users must be explicitly mapped to local users. See xref:/authentication-authorization/auth-providers.adoc[User auth providers] for details. +
4714+
+NOTE+: This setting only works with the built-in auth providers (LDAP, SSO/OIDC).
4715+
Plugin authentication does not have access to validate whether a local user exists and can therefore not ensure this setting.
