Tom is a networking manager in XYZ Inc. He and his team were assigned the task to store and update the confidential files present on a remote server using Network File System (NFS) client-server application protocol. Since the files are confidential, Tom was asked to perform this operation in a secured manner by limiting the access only to his team. As per the instructions provided to him, to use NFS securely, he employed the process of limiting the superuser access privileges only to his team by using authentication based on the team personnel identity. Identify the method employed by Tom for securing access controls in NFS?
