You can only refer to local machine accounts in a workgroup.
So to let another user from another machine connect, you need to set up a
user account on your machine which matches the user's account on the other
machine.
Maintaining concurrent user accounts does not scale well, and a domain
permits on machine called the Domain Controller to hold a single central
user account database.
Once a PC joins the domain, then you can select either local users or users
from the domain in the Location selection.
