Hi,

Depending on the requirement you can go ahead with configuration. I mean, ACS can be used to grant users access to devices' administration (ex: administration of Routers, Switches etc) and also for Network access (ex. access to network resources).

You can refer to following URLs:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_express/5.0/roadmap/xpguide.html#wp1029166

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_express/5.0/user/guide/users.html

I hope it help you to configure ACS. All the best.

Regards,

Bhushan
