application by applying command authorization sets to Cisco Secure ACS groups

For permit/deny command arguments, Cisco Secure ACS applies pattern
matching. That is, the argument permit wid matches any argument that contains
the string wid. Thus, for example, permit wid would allow not only the argument
wid but also the arguments anywid and widget.
To limit the extent of pattern matching you can add the following expressions:
dollarsign ($)—Expresses that the argument must end with what has gone
•
before. Thus permit wid$ would match against wid or anywid, but not
widget.
• caret (^)—Expresses that the argument must begin with what follows. Thus
permit ^wid would match against wid or widget, but not against anywid.
