I think it is relatively easy to set the first array ('=auth'), at least
for the 'read' level. But if it has to be done for all levels (is this
so?), this would be more time-consuming. On the other hand is probably not
really needed in the next time.

More critical are the two remaining fields. Therefore the question: what
is the exact meaning of

'=protectexclude' and
'=protectsafe'

?
