Hello Erik, It seems possible, refer to the following documentation to see if it fits your needs: http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/security/secureInternalAuthenticationTOC.html http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/security/secureInternalAuthorizationTOC.html
And you can check the permissions available here: http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cql/3.1/cql/cql_reference/list_permissions_r.html I'm assuming you are using CQL.
