Certainly the OP or any individual is within their rights (assuming they are 
the
system admin) to add the access needed.  Or a different user with these 
permissions
and any others needed could be created and the service could be run under 
this new
user instead.  This, of course, isn't a "Cygwin thing" and won't be 
automated by Cygwin.
I'm pretty confident that you weren't suggesting it should be automated but 
I figured I'd
point this out for the sake of the archives.
