How are automatic permissions determined?

Problem/Motivation

How are automatic group permissions determined? What I mean by this are the green checkboxes and red Xs when editing permissions for a group type.

What does this mean?

Cells with a ❌ indicate that the permission is not available for that role.
Cells with a βœ… indicate that the permission is automatically available to that admin role.

How are permissions determined to be automatically available? How can a permission be revoked if it has been determined to be automatically available? Why are some global (outsider?) roles granted a green checkbox for almost every permissions while other roles are not? I can understand why this would be the case for Administrator, but for other roles this seems completely random.
