When the top-level permissions lists are closed, it is not obvious whether only some, or all, of the sub-items have been selected.

Suggested solution: When top-level permission is in the ‘on’ position, the selector should also indicate whether all or some of the sub-items are selected so that the user can quickly adjust.

Example: When all are selected, the background is a solid color.

When only one or some are selected, the background is a neutral color, and only the frame is the ‘selected’ color.
