What NFS allows is the user id number, not name. This means is if user A is 1000 on one system. Another user 1000 on another system will have access to A's files. The key is make sure user ID's are consistent across all systems. Someone with root access could of course create a new user with whatever ID they want or use an existing ID.
I setup the nfs server with yast. I setup the nfs clients with Yast. Yast tells me nothing about id. It doen't say, 'are you sure you want to continue becaus this is s big security risk'. I come back to my original worry: I'm the only one with root access on any box on my network. Yast set it up for me. What are my problems? I'm sorry to have to ask for confirmation.
