Field's Editability control across the platform limited to Workflows and API

Hi , the goal is to be able to block a field from being editable for all users.
So the fields should be only controlled by workflows or the api.

Current solution

Currently you can go to all of the roles in the system and block each role to edit the record.

Expected behaviour

To control user access to the field for the complete platform from inside the field configuration.

If you have 10-15 roles it is not so practical to go in each one and redo the same setup.
