6 I checked and there is no way. It is recommended UID/GID be synced regularly on all client machines.

8 NFSv4 requires user names and group names be synced. IDs do not have to match, which makes syncing easier.

10 You should be controlling IDs/names from a central location and syncing as part of a deployment system, and not allowing client machine users to make modifications to those files.
