• create a default service account super user role which the user will use for their default login when password based auth is enabled.

We might want to think about this a bit more...

There are a couple of ways we could approach this, one way is to just automatically create a new role (not service account), if we're using password or sasl (or probably No auth).

The other way would be to take a list of objects that represent initial users that should be created... This would be a tuple of something like user, password, superuser, login

Yet another way would be to have a pod that reads from a secret and generates all roles in that secret.

I'm not convinced that always creating a role is the best option to choose here.

I am inclined towards having user provided input for generating credentials, yet I don't like the idea of exposing a lot of configuration knobs to the user. I went ahead with the service account role because it could be used by user applications via serivce account, while the user roles would only be useful for login. I want to know the reason why you suggested that we shouldn't be creating service account role.

the idea behind this implementation was to provide a superuser role with credentials which can be used to further create other roles needed by the user.
