We're currently testing tacacs
from ise to tacacs profile
Set Default Privilege to 1
Maximum Privilege set to 15.
My personal opinion is
If you set it as above, the switch will successfully log in to the tacacs account and if enabled in the > state, you will receive Maximum Privilege and enter #.
However, if you enable it in >, you can't enter # mode with the message %Error in authentication if you ask for password and enter password.
Am I thinking wrong by any chance?

Not sure what you are actually doing here, but why would you want users that auth as priv level 15 to log in to Disable-mode? If they are priv-users, just let them auth directly into Enable-mode?

As I wrote in the post
We are testing it in various scenarios.
1) Set Default Privilege to 1
Maximum Privilege set to 1.
2) Set Default Privilege to 1
Maximum Privilege set to 15.
3) Set Default Privilege to 15
Maximum Privilege set to 15.
In case of number 1, it was impossible to enter the #mode with enable
For 3 times, as soon as I logged in, I entered #mode.
This scenario is the same as I thought
In case 2, I wrote a post because it was different from what I thought.

If I understand your question correctly. . .
you set ISE Profile as
Set Default Privilege to 1
Maximum Privilege set to 15.
you are landing at the user promt > then you have to type enable and you will be placed in # mode ( this is expected behavior )
Now if you want your switch to ask for enable password, you have two options either configure your NAD/SWITCH to use local enable secret (configured on the same switch) or you can also confiure your NAD to verify enable password from ISE.
-Which enable secret switch will accept depends upon the configuration you did on the switch
- bydefault the switch will accept the locally configured enable secret
- but you can configure switch to use enable password from the ISE with the following cammand
aaa authentication enable default tacacs+ enable
