As of Wine 9.4, Wine programs run as a limited user by default, but will automatically and silently elevate themselves if necessary (in the same situations that Windows would spawn a UAC prompt), at which point they will report administrator privileges while still running as the same Unix user.
This is fine for the vast majority of applications, but you may need to manually "run as administrator", by launching the Wine file explorer (explorer.exe), navigating to the program, right-clicking, and selecting "Run as Administrator". This will cause Wine to report administrator privileges but, again, will not affect permissions on the Unix side.
