We really need this feature from a usability standpoint.
When we set up
new sites, we create an Admin role that is assigned to
someone at our
client's office. They should have permissions to do nearly
everything
on the site. Pretty much the only thing I don't give them
is access to
the devel module. Checking all of those damned permissions
is a
freaking pain in the ass. It'd be much better to be able to
click check
all (maybe you get a warning alert here?) and then uncheck
the one or
two I don't want them to have, rather than being forced to
click a
hundred fifty times as I currently am.
