Web Application– all SharePoint objects that match specified criteria across the selected web application will be affected.

Name contains – changes will apply only to object whose name contains specified term (not case sensitive).
Regular expression – changes will apply only to object whose name matches specified regular expression.
Template– changes will apply only to object whose base template matches the selected one (not applicable for list items).
If multiple site collections or subsites are selected, changes will apply only to the ones where such objects exist.
Select users which you wish to grant the permissions to. People Picker supports users, Active Directory groups and SharePoint groups as a valid choice.

If no permissions can be assigned to the selected principal on that site no new role assignment will be granted.
