Indeed super-user priv on Foundry devices is 0 instead of 15 but that is
only as far as the CLI input goes.  On the server, it is still considered to
be priv-lvl 15.  Yes, it's counter-intuitive.  For all other intents and
purposes, they fully emulate Cisco devices.  One thing you'll have to add to
the device is this:

aaa authentication login privilege-mode

This tells the Foundry device to honor the enable-request for privilege
escalation sent from the TACACS+ server.

Example of setting priv-lvl in service block:

group = admin {
  default service = permit
  service = exec {
    privl-lvl = 15
  }
}
user = joe {
  login = cleartext joe
  member = admin
}

Full example Foundry AAA template:

aaa authentication login default tacacs+ enable none
aaa authentication login privilege-mode
aaa authorization commands 0 default  tacacs+ none
aaa authorization exec default  tacacs+ none
aaa accounting commands 0 default start-stop  tacacs+
aaa accounting exec default start-stop  tacacs+
aaa accounting system default start-stop  tacacs+
tacacs-server host 1.2.3.4
tacacs-server host 2.4.6.8
tacacs-server key abc123
tacacs-server timeout 1
enable telnet authentication

Good luck!
