Command History
Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must enable the TACACS+ feature by using the feature tacacs+ command.
The group tacacs+ and group group-list methods refer to a set of previously defined TACACS+ servers. 
Use the tacacs-server host command to configure the host servers. Use the aaa group server command 
to create a named group of servers. Use the show aaa groups command to display the server groups on 
the device.
If you specify more than one server group, the Cisco NX-OS software checks each group in the order 
that you specify in the list. The local method or the none method is used only if all the configured server 
groups fail to respond and you have configured local or none as the fallback method.
If you specify the group method or local method and it fails, then the authorization can fail. If you 
specify the none method alone or after the group method, then the authorization always succeeds.
Examples This example shows how to configure the default AAA authorization methods for EXEC commands:
group (Optional) Specifies to use a server group for authorization.
group-list List of server groups.
The list can include the following:
• tacacs+ for all configured TACACS+ servers.
• Any configured TACACS+ server group name. 
The name can be a space-separated list of server groups, and a maximum of 
127 characters.
local (Optional) Specifies to use the local role-based database for authorization.
none (Optional) Specifies to use no database for authorization.
