Answer

The NTFS account that owns the file/folder is name mapping to Unix account root. Example:
  1. file-directory show says the file/folder is owned by NTFS group BUILTIN\Administrators
  2. cifs options show -vserver svm1 -fields is-admin-users-mapped-to-root-enabled says the option is set to true, which means that all Windows Administrator accounts name map to Unix account root
