Authorization on the console is disabled by default, even with the config you have. This is done on purpose because we had a lot of customers lock themselves out of their routers when configuring authorization, and we wanted the console port to always be a last resort for them to get back in. The theory is that if someone has access to the console port on your router, you have a lot more to worry about than command authorization.

If you really, really want to enable authorization on the console port, make sure it is working fine first via the vty ports, then issue the hidden command as follows:

aaa authorization console
