AAA authorization not working

Question

Hi,
Configured the switch for the AAA authentication it's getting authenticated but it's failing for authentication.
When connected to console it worked-  Authenticated and then supplied the enable password.
When telneted : it says "access approved" and  "authorization failed"
Relevant switch configuration is as follows  and also debug of aaa authorization.

Do we need to change anything on Radius server or can we change the authorization preference to local and then to radius.
Please share the experience.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Subodh,
I understand that you are trying to use command authorization using RADIUS.
aaa authorization commands 15 default group radius if-authenticated local
Command authorization is not supported in RADIUS. RADIUS does not allow users to control which commands can be executed       on a router and which cannot.
Please refer the following link:

You need to use TACACS+ for configuring command authorization for IOS and PIX/ASA.
