On the server share, create a new group and chown the export and
contents to that group. E.g.:
chgrp nfsusers /exports/data
Then make sure that the group can write:
chmod 770 /exports/data
On the workstation side, make sure that the same group exists *with the
same group id* as on the server. All users that need to write to that
share must belong to this group.
