My opinion : it was not mandatory here.

If final rights are OK , why check the other ?
And more : show other checkbox as Indeterminate if : uszer have right, but right is given by another right seems the best solution.

In 3.X : i hate all checkbox was unchecked when deactivate superadmin …

@mazi what is you expected behaviour? All should be checked?

I agree with Denis that "it was not mandatory here."
We could add some legend to explain more about not being mandatory.
The problem about your comment, Denis, is that after saving, all checkboxes are checked, creating some confusion.

My suggestion, just check all and keep status quo, at least on this ticket.

Intended behavior would be the original LS3 behavior: Other checkboxes should checked automatically.

See usage of inderminate for checkbox in 2.6lts

If we can set indertimate if Permission come from another Permission : i think it's the best solution
