AFAIK, there is no user-level authentication in NFS, access controls are 
pretty much only the usual UGO-RWX unix perms - with the added layer of being 
able to allow certain hosts to mount RO or RW (or not at all) and of course, 
map root on a mounting host to a non-priv. user on the server.

Cunning group membership should be your friend here - maybe a group 
specifically for data entry clerks....? Of course, even with an NFS shared 
data file, you can only have one user at a time editing the file.

Possibly, if you have some serious security/trust issues on your LAN, then 
SSHFS?  Been a few years since I looked at that, soYMMV.
