I can see that this behavior makes sense from a „easy access“ point of view. It 
does not however from a security point.
We are authenticating against Active Directory for example with about some 
thousand users in AD. AD is managed by another team, but I would like to have 
that "anybody" isn’t able to see any host or service in icingaweb2, only when a 
role is (locally) assigned to the account.
I can’t see a way to define a role that does not depend on AD group membership 
and will restrict the access to all objects.

Furthermore roles are additive: When a user has more than one role assigned the 
permissions of the roles are added. In my eyes it’s more intuitive when 
starting wit no permissions at all.

Just my two €-Cent ...
