Example computer A and computer B. User logs on to computer A as
administrator. That *same* account (username and password) is the
Administrator of Computer B.

You connect to computer B from computer A. Computer B sees your account as
the Administrator of computer B and gives it administrator access.

Create a user (the same username same password) on computer A and computer B
that is not an administrator. Share a folder on computer B and grant the new
non admin account permission to the folder. Log in to Computer A with the
new non admin account and connect to the shared folder on computer B. It
should now behave as you expect.
