[Groups] Front-End Permissions

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me with this.

I've set up a public group for people to use as a playground and experiment with group features on my forums. I've configured the default permissions in the ACP, and did so before this group was created. When viewing the /group-roles/ page, I see the roles that I had configured in the ACP, but when drilling down into these groups, all of the permission checkboxes are empty.

This leaves me with a few questions:
  1. Should I expect to see the checked state of the permissions here mirror that of the ACP?
    1. If no, why not?
  2. What happens if I check a box?
    1. Do group permissions take over and defaults are no longer applicable?
    2. Does this function as an "override" and only that permission is modified?
      1. If so, how does one disable a permission using a binary?
  3. Is there a way to restore to default permissions if I've made a modification?
  4. What should I do as an admin?
    1. Encourage user groups to go in and manage their own permissions?
    2. Discourage users from even touching permissions?
