Its an excellent article available on TechNet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197668(office.12).aspx This got all the information on Windows SharePoint Services Security groups..

• Also the below link will help you to Plan your permission levels & groups for project workspace sites.

Please go through the following article on Page 60:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197470(office.12).aspx

Microsoft Office Project Web Access is a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site. However, synchronization of users with Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 is handled in very specific ways. It is hard-coded in the product. Permissions for users and groups can be managed through Office Project Web Access. On the Project Workspace Provisioning Setting page, which can be accessed from the Server Settings page in the Operational Policies section, you can clear the box to Automatically add Project Web Access users to project team Web site when SharePoint site is created or when the project manager publishes the project information to Project Server.

If you do this, you will need to manage permissions on project workspace sites. This will not be done automatically.

Note: I am not recommending to modify the permissions on the Project workspaces. If you do, the manual additions may be removed when you do the Synchronization. Some changes may break the synchronization between the Project and the corresponding workspace.
