Thanks for posting here.
You can create the SPS user accounts both in AD and in the local host.
If you need to allow the non-AD users to access the SPS and manager their
information, you can create the user accounts on the SPS server locally.
The local accounts can use the same alias as the AD account. When the users
log on to the SPS, he will get an authentication box and need to enter the
username as <Domain>\username.
We recommend you use AD account with the SPS v2 due to the security issue.
If the remote users are also in an AD, you can configure the trust
relationship between the two domains. Then you can delegate some permission
to the remote domain users.
I hope the information helps.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Jorge Fei
