> Running local Cassandra with below config:
> {noformat}
> authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator
> authorizer: CassandraAuthorizer
> role_manager: CassandraRoleManager
> network_authorizer: CassandraNetworkAuthorizer{noformat}
> Created a super user and then ran *Grant select* command on a keyspace. 
> {noformat}
> shaadmin1@cqlsh> CREATE USER 'shaadmin1c1' WITH PASSWORD 'shaadmin1c1' SUPERUSER;
> shaadmin1@cqlsh:system_auth> grant select on testk1.t1 to shaadmin1c1;
> shaadmin1@cqlsh:system_auth> alter role shaadmin1c1 with access to all datacenters;
> {noformat}
>  
> After this, list permissions command showing only select permission for that role on the resource.
> {noformat}
> shaadmin1c1@cqlsh> list all permissions of shaadmin1c1;
> role | username | resource | permission
> ----------------------------------------+-----------
> shaadmin1c1 | shaadmin1c1 | <table testk1.t1> | SELECT
> {noformat}
>  
> Row in role_permissions table:
> {noformat}
> role | resource | permissions
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> shaadmin1c1 | data/testk1/t1 | {'SELECT'}{noformat}
> But insert command by that role on the resource is successful because role is a super user
> {noformat}
> shaadmin1c1@cqlsh> insert into testk1.t1 (c1, c2) values ('a', 1);
> shaadmin1c1@cqlsh> select * from testk1.t1 ;
> c1 | c2
> ---+---
> a | 1
> (1 rows)
> {noformat}

> The problem is, output of list permissions command, which indicates only select permission on the resource, is misleading. I think list command need to be fixed to show all permissions super user has on the resource. Also grant command for a super user can be either a no-op or throw error, because the role already have requested permissions.
>  
> Documentation also misleading:
> {quote}True automatically grants AUTHORIZE, CREATE and DROP permission on ALL ROLES.
> Superusers can only manage roles by default. To manage other resources, {color:#ff0000}you must grant the permission set to that resource. ** {color}For example, to allow access management for all keyspaces: {{{}GRANT ALL PERMISSIONS ON ALL KEYSPACES TO }}\{{{}{*}role_name{*}{}}}.
