value, use the no login authentication {default | list-name} line configuration command.

Configuring TACACS+ Authorization for Privileged EXEC Access and Network Services

AAA authorization limits the services available to a user. When AAA authorization is enabled, the
switch uses information retrieved from the user's profile, which is located either in the local user
database or on the security server, to configure the user's session. The user is granted access to a
requested service only if the information in the user profile allows it.
You can use the aaa authorization global configuration command with the tacacs+ keyword to set
parameters that restrict a user's network access to privileged EXEC mode.
The aaa authorization exec tacacs+ local command sets these authorization parameters:
