Gluster users - Aug 2019 - Access as root user when using root_squash

I am using a gluster volume share over nfs using root_squash.

I would like most of the servers in the organization use a gluster
share with their specific user id/group id and not able to read other
people's data.

But there have to be some users who can provision the root level
directory for other users and give proper ownership. Is it possible to
do?

Thanks,

You can do this by mounting the volume with fuse for provisioning (on
some dedicated server, or on the Gluster servers themselves). Normal
access can then be done over NFS on the servers that the normal users
use.
