Explanation

Palo Alto Networks firewalls support two types of administrator account profiles: Dynamic and Role Based. Dynamic administrator roles (Superuser, Superuser Read-Only, Device Administrator, etc.) are predefined by Palo Alto Networks and automatically updated when new features are added - no manual maintenance required. Role Based administrators use a custom Admin Role profile that grants granular, manually defined permissions. 'Superuser' is a Dynamic role (not a separate type), and 'Local' describes where an account is stored, not its type.
