Force bash to start as administrator


I want to be able to start a bash shell as Administrator id=500 regardless
of who I am logged into the windows box as. Alternatively can I force cygwin
to ignore the current user credentials and use the Administrator.

 

I would like to be able to do this so that I can standardize my deployment
of Cygwin, I would like any user to always get the same permissions, same
home directory, etc.

 

BTW, how does login work in cygwin?
