I've been really exploring plugin_Wiki since it's launch and I can at least answer what the Role: box does.
If a group is listed in this box for a page ONLY that group can then access the page. Notice I say group because while "user_1" is the default group for a specific user you can just as easily create a group which contains multiple users and assign it in this spot. My only issue with the "Role" in it's current implementation is that it is fairly limiting. If an editor sets a page to a group of which he is not a member it actually will produce an error when saving due to the automatic redirect to view the page after saving. I'm not sure I can answer the final question on application administration. My best shot is to say you can add/remove users from a group (editor in this case) at any time. There is however in the default plugin_wiki only three levels of authentication.
