ACS, CS, Authentication and Rights

[mrashby]

All,

I have cisco works authenticating using TACACS+ and authorizing using ACS. I set this up last Friday and now this morning, Monday, I can log in using the ACS server but I can't do anything. I can't run any reports I can't see my devices in common services, nor can I do any of the other administrative tasks I used to be able to do before hooking up with the ACS server, call it a rookie mistake. I did some reading and the Cisco Works help page says to setup the System Identity User with all privileges for all the applications in ACS mode. Now can someone tell me how I can log into Cisco Works with out using the ACS so that I can make the changes to the System Identity User. Also I have attached a picture of what my current situation on my cisco works CS page looks like just to give an idea of what I have. Thanks

Mario
