it certainly IS important that the scope of a security setting be known. Especially for the cloud, I'd assume nothing and make damned sure that I understood the scope (there has be a document somewhere) the scope.

I do, however, have to agree that most people will assume that "Authenticated Users" would mean "just in the scope of my users for my stuff". There's a whole lot to be said for how people name things. If the security setting had been named "Any User in the World", the name would have said it all.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

That... that... seems like some very poor wording on the part of that security setting, that really means it's just one step short of completely public.
