These are Signature level permissions from the Google Play Store app:

android.permission.com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH
android.permission.com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.android
android.permission.com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.androidsecure
android.permission.com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.sierra
android.permission.com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.sierraqa
android.permission.com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.sierrasandbox

You cannot use them.
