Drupal supports the concepts of Role and

All anonymous have a set of permissions assigned
to them.

One user may belong to one or more roles

Every registered user belongs to at least the

permissions to set because… he’s god !

If you grant permissions to an authenticated
user, it applies to ALL authenticated roles
