This is a problem as the set of role options supported by {{CRM}} depends on the configured {{IAuthenticator}}, which at that point in time is always {{AllowAllAuthenticator}}. This StackOverflow post describes the problem; the configured authenticator is {{PasswordAuthenticator}}, the role manager should allow roles to be created using the {{PASSWORD}} option, but it does not. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31820914/in-cassandra-2-2-unable-to-create-role-containing-password The simple workaround is to ensure that yaml contains the role manager option {code} role_manager: CassandraRoleManager {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
