Please add multi-user support for wsl

Currently WSL has to be seperately installed for each user on a machine. That kind of wastes Linux's potential and is a big nuisance for sysadmins. You either have to install it manually for every individual user on that machine, or you risk letting them install it themselves thereby automatically granting them full admin rights for that linux subsystem. A multiuser installation, installing WSL for all users on that machine, but only granting actual admin (sudo) rights to the system admins is desperately needed. please see comments on the closed post #2979, for feedback from other users on that issue
