Sure - here it is: in a portal type's Roles tab create a type
information with the following settings:

Name: Assignor-no-matter-what
Role: Assignor
Description: I am Assignor
Condition: (leave empty)
Base Category: role
Base Category Script: (leave empty, it will be filled automatically)
Category: role/internal

This is it :) But you can't do it once for all modules, you have to do
it separately for every portal type you want to access (Person Module,
Person etc.).

It is all in the wiki and in the handbook, althought the documentation
concentrates rather on explaining how it works and provides a bit more
sophisticated examples.
