------------------------------------------
Summary: LIST SUPERUSERS cql command
Key: CASSANDRA-19417
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19417
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tool/cqlsh
Reporter: Shailaja Koppu
Assignee: Shailaja Koppu
Developing a new CQL command LIST SUPERUSERS to return list of roles with
superuser privilege. This includes roles who acquired superuser privilege in
the hierarchy.
Context: LIST ROLES cql command lists roles, their membership details and
displays super=true for immediate superusers. But there can be roles who
acquired superuser privilege due to a grant. LIST ROLES command won't display
super=true for such roles and the only way to recognize such roles is to look
for atleast one row with super=true in the output of LIST ROLES OF <role name>
command. While this works to check is a given role has superuser privilege,
there may be services (for example, Sidecar) working with C* and may need to
maintain list of roles with superuser privilege. There is no existing
command/tool to retrieve such roles details. Hence developing this command
which returns all roles having superuser privilege.
