Don't use "no_root_squash", then how do I enable root access on Linux clients?

Roger PeiSep 2 2020 — edited Sep 21 2020

I can understand "no_root_squash" is dangerous, and it should not be used. However, I feel confused about is that how could I use root privilege if I really want to use root on Linux clients? If I disable "no_root_squash", then any files I created will be owned by "nobody", but what if I really want to have the file owned by "root" on theĀ  client? What am I missing?

Thanks!
