Can I give local user authentication priority over LDAP or SAML?

Hello. I am configuring SAML. If my SAML configuration fails, I do not want to get locked out. I want to create a local admin user as a way to get into the system. I want to configure access control such that first local user authentication is done. Only if no local user is found, SAML (Or LDAP) authentication should kick in. Is there such a priority setting in Splunk?
