aaa command authorization using tacacs.

Hello All,

Say I created an user with privilege level 5 on ACS.
so when the user logs in, he is assigned a privilege level of 5.
Now I enabled aaa command authorization on the router for privilege levels
1, 5, 15. ( I did not configure any "privilege exec" or "privilege configure
commands on the router ) I want to leave everything to tacacs.

I configured certain commands to be authorized for this user5 *on tacacs*.
example: on tacacs, I permitted "configure terminal" command.
( which is at privilege level 15 on the router )

Will the user be able to execute that command ??

Will the router even send any request to tacacs when the user executes
"configure terminal" ? given that the user is at privilege level 5 and the
command
is by default at level 15. ( or the router simply rejects the cli ? )

How do we handle such a situation ?
Is creating "privilege exec level 5 configure terminal" only way ( if the
above doesnt work )
( can tacacs alone handle "complete" command authorization without any
additional
config on router, other than the aaa authorization command ..... )

Please let me know.
Thanks
Kal
