This person should probably also check whether or not he/she has permission
to write to the appropriate part of the registry.  I would assume yes if the
mounts exist once created, so this person would also need to check what's
happening with the registry file via auditing if possible.

As a minimum the person:
 * would need permission to  CreateSubkey  on
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/	(or any of the appropriate subkeys if existing)
 * would need permissions of  QueryValue  in   
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Cygnus Solutions/CYGWIN.DLL setup/b15.0/mounts/
 * probably would need permission to  EnumerateSubkeys  in the above path.
