I hope I understand your question.  I think you want the local administrator
on a workstation to access a share on a server.

The local administrator account on a workstation exists only on that
workstation.  It cannot access shares on another machine.

This is so with Samba and Windows.

I would do the following:

Create a domain user account

Add it to the local administrator's group on the workstation

Grant it access to the share on the Samba server
