I was trying to create a new site in sharepoint 2013 using CSOM. For the new site i tried attaching 3 default unique groups (Owner, Member, Visitor) using Web.AssociatedMemberGroup, Web.AssociatedOwnerGroup, Web.AssociatedVisitorGroup properties.
After executing the above mentioned operation new site with 3 groups got created, but when i checked these groups where not having any permission levels attached with them (then i explicitly added permission levels for these groups). Is this the expected behavior?, So what is the significance of having 3 separate properties (AssociatedMemberGroup, AssociatedOwnerGroup, AssociatedVisitorGroup) in web class .

Sh
