In IPA those things that are marked external are those entries not stored directly in IPA.

Setting all priority and severity to medium.

I added a section on external users and hosts for sudo.

Most of the time, those identities are going to be entities within the IPA domain becuase there will be overlap between the system users and machines in the environment and the users and hosts belonging to the IPA domain.
