Yes, my comment was a little blase. I know that Windows has users & groups:

I was thinking that you wanted a naive transfer of the Posix concept.
The "owner" of a file does mean something to Windows (while the "group"
really doesn't; it's just an artefact of Windows' posix-compatibility)
but not as much as it does on Posix systems, because the security system
is much more sophisticated.

But maybe I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs ?
