aaa authorization command TACACS+ LOCAL

What about TACACS? If it's a local user, why do you set authorization to TACACS+ primarily?

[Ramesh M]

Hi Peter,

we have configured TACACS+ As well. some of the local users are created for login with read only access.

If I configure the TACACS+, is the local privilege level authorization will work. ?

Moreover the readonly users in the TACACS+ alo gettting the same command authorization error.
