Addendum: here is output from id:

uid=197609(moss) gid=197609(moss) groups=197609(moss),401408(Medium Mandatory 
Level),197610(Cygwin),197611(docker-users),559(Performance Log

account),4095(CurrentSession),66048(LOCAL),262180(Cloud Account Authentication)

This has 113 (Local account) but _not_ 114, the administrators account.
This may explain things.  But it seems I used to get admin privileges
when logging in.  Maybe I used to start XWin as admin, and so the
magical token was inherited?  I'll check on that ...
