title: Cassandra (CQL) RoleManager disable
body: <p>I'm currently using the following configuration for Cassandra:</p>
  
  <pre><code> authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator
   authorizer: org.apache.cassandra.auth.CassandraAuthorizer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is: How can I disable role management to use normal CQL system.permissions</p>
  
  <p>The reason behind disabling roles as a whole, is because I'm unable to use create a new user while roleManagement is active:</p>
  
  <pre><code> user@cqlsh&gt; create user testuser with password '123';
   InvalidRequest: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="org.apache.cassandra.auth.CassandraRoleManager doesn't support PASSWORD"
  </code></pre>
