Accessing Network Shares via Jump Client with Active Directory Account in BeyondTrust PRA

I am encountering a limitation when using BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) for remote access to network shares.

I tested an alternative using:

  • Jump Client

  • Session Policies → File Transfer tab

➡️ File transfer works correctly from the remote machine.
❌ However, the main issue is that:

  • The session runs under a local administrator account

  • The user accessing the session does have access to the shared folders, but not when using their Active Directory account

Requirement / Question

I would like to know if there is a way:

  • To access the remote machine via Jump Client (File Transfer tab) using the user’s Active Directory account during the session

Specifically through:

  • A network tunnel

  • Running the session in the Active Directory user context

  • Active Directory credential injection

  • Or any other native BeyondTrust PRA functionality

Objective

Allow the remote user to access shared folders and files using their Active Directory account, without using a local administrator account on the remote machine.
