Yep.

The machine one is reading from (Windows OS in this case) would have 
to have a daemon running, listening on a port, for incoming queries.

The daemon would then pass the request to a logon prompt, and if  the 
UID/password submitted passed muster, then the individual logging in 
would have whatever permissions (read, write, delete, rename, create, 
run applications, etc.) that their User ID had been granted.
