word choice - Difference between 'all' and 'all the'


I came across people using all the in sentences instead of all.



Select the type of user to view all the users of that type. All the users of the selected role are displayed.



I usually strike out the after all. Is there any justification that I can give my team on why the seems out of place in the above example? Are there any rules of grammar for or against using the article after all?
