Where does access list comes from in Joomla

Can anyone suggest where from access list comes in Joomla? This list is available when creating 'Category' or 'Article' as:

enter image description here

I check and this is rendering from edit.php via

echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.edit.global', $this);

Though actually the whole section(right side panel) is being rendered from this function. If we see the Ids associated with each dropdown, they are different from userGroup ids of Joomla, and also 'Special' is not a userGroup altogether. From which method they are getting prepared?

Solution
