The request basically specifies, among others, a file/directory identifier, the operation (read, write, change permission, etc.), and the identity of the user on whose behalf the operation/process is to be done.

By default, the user identity is detect with the UNIX numeric user and group policy. With this scheme, also called AUTH_UNIX, the server basically believes anything that the client sends it.
