- **Tier:** essential
- **Gating:** none — every request to create an account is recorded
- **Cardinality:** once per request

The record that an administrator created a local account with `lps`, or
tried to. The first account on a new machine is created this way too, by
the boot-time service that provisions it.

Essential because a new account is a new way in, and it is rare.
