When users make changes on a file server, it asks for local admin prompt. How to get rid of this?

Our mac users work off multiple servers we have. We just got them set up all on jamf a few weeks ago. They are testing out their new macs with Jamf. 

Whenever they make changes on one of the servers they mount, whether it is creating a folder or deleting something. They will get a prompt asking for admin credentials on this mac. 

Is this anyway to disable this?

Is this an admin check or a credentials/permissions check? MacOS should not care what they are doing on a remote server, and any permissions checks should be something the remote server is asking for not macOS.

It is an admin check. For example, when this prompt comes up, they have to put the local admin credentials in rather than their domain credentials to get into the file server.

you didn't upload the prompt / workflow message or types of servers. As @AJPinto  said it doesn't normally prompt for admin to work on a remote server unless your missing some pppc profile (depends what and how your doing things).
