Also, normaluser can't grant permissions to itself. Only su-
peruser can!

4. So, let's log in with superuser :

$CASSANDRA_HOME/bin/cqlsh -3 -u superuser -p
superuser

5. Now, create a keyspace and grant permissions to normaluser :

// create keyspace.
create keyspace testkeyspace with replication
= { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy' ,
'replication_factor' : 3};

// grant all permissions on 'testkeyspace' to
normaluser.
grant all on keyspace testkeyspace to
normaluser;

Upon issuing permission to normaluser , the server will store
its permissions in the permissions table under the system_auth
keyspace.

6. Let's explore all given permissions of normaluser (see Figure

4-11 ) .

// list all permissions.
list all permissions of normaluser;
