Where is the text that you want to see clarified?  If it is within the
handbook, than this issue queue is the right place (post the link to the
handbook page).  If you are suggesting a change to the text that appears
when actually using Drupal on your own site, you need to use the Drupal
issue queue since the changes need to be made within the code base.

Many new users expect authenticated users to have all permissions given
to anonymous users, but this isn't actually how the system works - by
design. See http://drupal.org/node/103348.


The following clarification in the docs would be helpful.


======
Although all roles you create yourself receive any permissions you give
to authenticated users automatically, neither roles you create yourself
nor the authenticated user role receives permissions given to anonymous
users. If you check any of the Access Control boxes for anonymous users,
make sure you also check the equivalent box for authenticated users, or
wacky behavior results.
