You have mis understood how some things in the group manager work, which may explain why you are unable to accomplish your goals.
1) The GLOBAL anon/registered groups DO NOT inherit permissions from anywhere normally and specify the default permissions for anon and registered users for a particular group (for registered users you can specify an alternate permission).
2) By default when you create a forum, FUDforum automatically creates a group that manages permissions for that forum. However, that does not preclude you from creating your own group that would control permissions of any number of forums.
3) The group that you create may have alternate default permissions for GLOBAL anon/registered users. Or it can be used to specify permissions just for the users who are members of that group.
4) Inheritences are something A LOT of people misunderstand, so don't feel bad about it. Inheretences are ONLY and ONLY relavent for the permissions that specify what settings can the group manager alter for a particular group.
5) Another source of confusion is the presense of 2 group managers. The user-land (as I like to call it) and and admin-land. The user-land (linked from forum's main page) allows the forum admin and group managers to change permissions of users inside groups or add additional users to those groups. The admin-lang group manager, which can be found in the admin control panel is used to create/modify/delete exiting group and assign group leaders as well as specify what permissions those group leaders may specify.
