I spent ages wrestling with similar issues. I found running `mkpasswd -c` a useful way to see which Windows user I'm logged in as. It took a lot of experimentation to realise that I was only logged in with the permissions of my Windows user if I disabled SSH keys and used my account password to authenticate. After much research, I found all the relevant answers in the documentation that Corinna linked to - though I had to read it twice to fully understand it (I've only recently started to learn about Windows' authentication and security processes).
