WindowsPrincipal.IsInRole takes into account groups inside groups?

Question

If I have an principal that pertains to a group that pertains to a group that pertains to a group that is added to the built it role "Administrator" will a call to principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator) return true?

What it does and what it should do are different things. I would like to avoid testing the method on every platform to find it's behavior. — Ignacio Soler Garcia, Dec 07 '12 at 19:15

Based on info supplied it will return true yes. However, as Blam says just one test should be sufficient to ascertain what the behaviour is
