Answer 1

You can use as.data.frame(), like below

> data.frame(a=1:4) %>% rowwise() %>% group_by(a)
# A tibble: 4 x 1
# Groups:   a [4]
      a
* 
1     1
2     2
3     3
4     4
Warning message:
Grouping rowwise data frame strips rowwise nature 

> data.frame(a=1:4) %>% rowwise() %>% as.data.frame() %>% group_by(a)
# A tibble: 4 x 1
# Groups:   a [4]
      a
* 
1     1
2     2
3     3
4     4
