Giving a permission to the authenticated user and the anonymous users gives it to all roles. If you are speaking of giving a single role all permissions, I would be careful. It would be better for modules to set defaults for their permissions and then change each permission individually. On Nov 28, 2007, at 4:41 PM, Greg Knaddison wrote:

You might want to take a look at the issue where these check-all boxes were added: http://drupal.org/node/84961#comment-449568
I'm not saying that should be set in stone, but when those select-all boxes were added they were purposefully not added to the permissions page because of the potential for accidentally doing a lot of damage on that form.
In general, there's no need to ask whether something should be added. Just make a patch and create an issue.
