Add a visual indicator in PSE to indicate that the Admin permission for an identity will override other permissions

This request originated from a tech support case where the objective was to remove the delete permission from all users (including admins) at all levels (server and databases) to prevent any objects from being deleted. The desired behavior in this case would be that by default, no one should be able to delete any objects, and if needed the permission would be temporarily added to the Administrators identity and then removed when the necessary deletion was completed. Any identities with the Admin permission were able to delete objects, even if the delete box was unchecked, due to the Admin permission being present, which allows to change and overrides other permissions.This behavior is intended, since Admin permission allows to change any permission. This enhancement request consists of adding a visual indicator in PSE to indicate that the Admin permission for an identity will override other permissions, since this is not always intuitively understood that way. Examples of this could be changing color/graying out other permissions for identities with the Admin permission or expanding the descriptor that comes up when the mouse is hovered over the Admin permission to include this information.
