Network-wide > Configure > General settings for Device Configuration With Device Configuration enabled, local users on your network will have the ability to see/access the local Meraki equipment and make login attempts. If disabled, they will NOT be able to access it locally (it's a protection mechanism to BLOCK logins locally). Typically after the device has connected to the dashboard this is DISABLED to prevent local access since it's managed normally via the dashboard. You would therefore manage the Meraki equipment through the dashboard. Just be sure to have more than 1 admin in case that lone admin loses access. It's best practice to have multiple administrators in case one gets locked out.
