These settings control the relationship of the groups to this product.
If any group has Entry selected, then this product will restrict bug entry to only those users who are members of all the groups with entry selected.
If any group has Canedit selected, then this product will be read-only for any users who are not members of all of the groups with Canedit selected. ONLY users who are members of all the canedit groups will be able to edit. This is an additional restriction that further restricts what can be edited by a user.
