Static users are typically defined in a JSON file containing local user accounts with their credentials and permissions.

{
  "admin": {
    "password": "hashedpassword123",
    "roles": ["admin"]
  },
  "serviceuser": {
    "password": "hashedpassword456",
    "roles": ["reader"]
  }
}

This can be useful for creating initial admin accounts or service accounts, or when external authentication (like SAML or LDAP) is not available. However, integrating with enterprise authentication systems is generally recommended over extensive use of static users.
