Should permission levels cascade downwards

Given two users, John and Jane and a group structure like this, all created by admin Jane:

If Jane adds John as an owner of A: Internal Group 1 then John has the following permissions:

  • Owner of A
  • Owner of B
  • Owner of C
  • Guest in an-internal-project
  • Guest in a-private-project

Should John's permission level cascade down to any subgroups or projects within the group he was made owner of? Or does his permission level need to be set for each group/sub group/ project individually? Why/why not?
