These commands don’t really mean anything unless you’re using authentication. If you want to enable roles / authentication / etc, then follow the instructions in the manual:
http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/security.html#authentication <http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/security.html#authentication> … or if you don’t want to use user authentication, then I wouldn’t worry about creating users / messing around with roles for the authentication system you don’t want to use. :-) - Max > On Mar 19, 2017, at 6:56 pm, Long Quanzheng <prc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi > I can't do any actions even with the superuser "cassandra". > > cassandra@cqlsh> list roles; > Unauthorized: Error from server: code=2100 [Unauthorized] message="You have > to be logged in and not anonymous to perform this request" > > cassandra@cqlsh> CREATE USER dba WITH PASSWORD 'bacon' SUPERUSER; > Unauthorized: Error from server: code=2100 [Unauthorized] message="Only > superusers can create a role with superuser status" > > cassandra.yaml is configed as: > > authenticator: AllowAllAuthenticator > >
