Google Play Services App Permissions. Normal permissions cover areas where there are very few if any risks to the privacy of the user. Google play services 8.1 is the first release to support runtime permissions on devices running android 6.0. When you install an app from google play on a device running android 6.0 and up or on a chromebook, you control which capabilities or information that app can access—known as permissions.
It turns out that the google play services 'app' requests permissions for body sensors, calendar, camera, contacts, microphone, phone, sms , and storage, so basically everything. Google play services is kind of a service provider for other apps on your device.

I am only using google play services for leaderboards and achievements in my game. Dangerous or sensitive permissions cover the areas where the app requests data or access to resources that involve private user information, and could potentially affect the personal data stored on the user's device. When i turn on the silent sign in for my account it works properly. Google play services was the only one i was skeptical.
