If you'll notice, clicking the Global or Local option next to a board in the Permissions area changes whcih option the black arrow/triangle points to.  When it's set to Global, that board does not have specific permissions.  When set to Local, it does.

For instance, if you had a group of people that should be able to to post attachments in one board but not in others, you can't enable attachment posting in that membergroup globally.  You instead set the board to local and edit the local copy of that membergroup to allow posting attachments.

If you read carefully the red text when editing permissions on a local group, it makes more sense.  It says something to the effect of, "Editing local permissions for group MyGroup on the specific board, MyBoard."  That is, of course, paraphrased.. but you get the idea.

Make sense?

Yes, they are basically anded, except there are three values.  Blank means, I don't care... so it's like this:

01 0  <-- deny,  allow, blank, deny.
0 1   <-- deny,  blank, allow, blank.
1111  <-- allow, allow, allow, allow.
-----
0110  <-- deny,  allow, allow, deny.

And also like this:

1     <-- allow, blank, blank, blank.
 1    <-- blank, allow, blank, blank.
 0    <-- blank, deny,  blank, blank.
-----
1000  <-- allow, deny,  deny, deny.
