[Discussion] Make per-entity selection optional

Problem/Motivation

This may first sound strange, but due to missing flexible other modules to at least define explicit "View" / "View unpublished" access for non-node Entities in Drupal, we might discuss to make the role selection per entity optional in the field settings.

So like in https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_access_by_reference_field → the permissions could be set per entity type in the field so that no options are shown at all in the entity and all entities just check the general field settings.
The options for the whole entity type would then be set in the default settings.

The worse and dirty thing about it is, that still the field would exist on all entities and a copy of the defaults would be saved to the entity.

Writing this, I don't like the idea anymore... :D
