I don't believe this is implemented. IIRC, the user is listed as an
administrator, with your unix username as your windows username, in
the group 'administrators'.

Patches are definitely welcome. Either mapping it to the Unix groups,
and/or allowing an override in winecfg/registry would be helpful. If
