Cygwin's focus is on using POSIX tools to do useful work on Windows hosts, 
avoiding the native APIs and tools because of their innumerable shortcomings.

You should ask these Windows queations on more appropriate forums, such as MS, 
Mingw64, Msys2, or SO:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54894967/why-does-convertstringsidtosid-fail-to-convert-a-string-sid

after carefully reading the MS docs:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/sddl/nf-sddl-convertstringsidtosida

and use a (re-/)search tool to find this basic background information and 
answers to queries, not ask on Cygwin lists.
