It is as a possessive adjective.
As in "her car" or "her apple". It's not a TRUE adjective, so some modern textbooks call them determiners instead, but functionally this class of possessives is closer to adjectives than nouns.

You mean [possessive pronouns](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/pronouns-possessive-my-mine-your-yours-etc)? Because those aren't adjectives. They're a stand-in for a name: "Jane's car" - "her car"
