title: cassandra - only superuser is allowed to perform CREATE USER queries
body: <p>I'm logging in with on Ubuntu 14.10 on Cassandra 2.0.8 with Java 1.7.0_60-b19</p>
  
  <pre><code>cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm running:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE USER a WITH PASSWORD 'a' NOSUPERUSER;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm getting the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Bad Request: Only superusers are allowed to perform CREATE USER queries
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem with reasoning - I am logged in as the superuser. </p>
  
  <p>My question is: <strong>If I'm logged into cqlsh as the Cassandra user, why am I told that I'm not the superuser?</strong></p>
