@DenisChenu LOL, really funny! On a more serious note, you can use exactly this as text:
"This permission allows an admin to change security relevant settings. Please make sure to assign this only to trusted persons."

Hi Denis, sure you can add those warnings as well. I tested your PR https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/4067, but I don't see any warnings :/

Went to User management and created new user and in that process assigned general Settings & Plugins permission.
After that tried to unassign it and reassign it, no warning ...

@DenisChenu I am sorry, I didn't notice it, because I was expecting something else. That being said, I think we ned to make it more prominent.
Can we make it like this?

I put the opacity:50 because i think it was more prominent than needed ;)

Else
For theme edition
"If you allow update or import theme, user can add script. This allows this user to add cross-site scripting using JavaScript function. Please make sure to assign this only to trusted persons."
For super admin
"This setting allow all action by this user. Please make sure to assign this only to trusted persons."
