I have shutter release button on group P and the back button on single point focus. Do I need to disable the front button before the back button will work

No, you can have both buttons focusing. I have my shutter button disconnected from focusing because I didn't want to be tempted to go back to having it focus.

Check out the E-Books as well, particularly the one on Nikon autofocus.

You may consider this to really get a grip on some of the powerful features of the D500. It is quite popular here on the Hogg.
