For 'su', see <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.su>.
Installing and configuring "openssh" with 'ssh-host-config' and
'ssh-user-config' would allow you to use 'ssh' as a replacement for
'su' in interactive situations.

Installing the "cron" package and configuring it 'cron-config' to run under
a privileged user account (i.e. SYSTEM in your case) would allow it to
execute other users' crontabs.
