"com2sec" is used for *community*-based SNMP
(i.e. v1/v2c).
"rwuser" is used for SNMPv3

These are two completely separate things.

This create a security name (*not* a username) "local",
used when working with the community "my_user"

>  group MyGroupe usm local

This creates a group "MyGroupe", used when working
with the SNMPv3 username "local".
This has no connection at all with the previous "local" user.
(Since you've said this group is for "usm" - i.e. SNMPv3)

I would suggest that you don't try to mix the two forms.
Working with "rwuser" et al is much easier!
(And can now handle named views as well)
