[Anthill-pro] Re: Security - Permissions - Feature Request: smarter permissions settings

[emerson cargnin]

We have 20 projects, each with 5 workflows, so it's 100 workflows. We
have 4 roles. Just in workflows it is 400 permission granting. Then we
have 12 environments.

If I would go directly to the resource and then applying more than one
permission at a time it would be at least 112 pages, as we could apply
more than one role permission at a time.

If there was a way to apply the same permission at a time, this would
be possible in at the maximum of 5 or 6 pages.

Does anyone else has the same issue? Or is there any other way to do
it that I just missed? If there is, this should be documented then.
