If you are using UNIX servers, you probably can find a PAM (pluggable authentication module) to authenticate to the radius server. I am not an expert on PAM, but I believe that PAM only supports 'authentication', and leaves it to the OS to define 'authorization', so I think the answer to the second part is that "yes you can use it to authenticate - but no you cant control authorization"
Radius servers do provide authentication, authorization and accounting services, but only to the extent supported by the client. In this case, the client is a PAM module which I don't think can pass authorization info - that is additional value-attribute pairs. authentication verifies who you are (username & password, etc.) authorization says what you can do (permissions) Somebody slap me if I am wrong. It wont be the first time.
