Adding login to SQL SERVER

I am trying to add a new login using sp_addlogin but I
get message:
'User X does not have permission to perform this action'.
I executed
sp_addsrvrolemember 'User X', 'sysadmin' and
sp_grantlogin 'domain\user X '
but when I login as an user X IS_SRVROLEMEMBER tells me
that 'Current user's login is NOT a member of the
sysadmin role'.
I executed sp_helpsrvrolemember and I see that
domain/user X is a member of sysadmin but is not a member
of securityadmin.What do you get when you run the following command:
SELECT SUSER_SNAME()?
