It's possible to set ACL on NFS(v4) filesystem to install NFS 4 ACL tool.
Usage is mostly the same with POSIX ACL Tool.
[1] Install NFS 4 ACL Tool on NFS clients that mounts NFS share with NFSv4.
[root@node01 ~]#
dnf -y install nfs4-acl-tools
[2] On this example, it shows usage examples on the environment like follows.
[root@node01 ~]#
df -hT /mnt 

Filesystem                   Type  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
dlp.srv.world:/home/nfsshare nfs4   15G  1.6G   14G  11% /mnt
[root@node01 ~]#
ll /mnt 

total 4
drwx------. 2 root root  6 Nov  9 17:45 testdir
-rw-------. 1 root root 10 Nov  9 17:44 testfile.txt
[3] Show ACL of a file or directory on NFSv4 filesystem.
[root@node01 ~]#
nfs4_getfacl /mnt/testfile.txt 


# file: /mnt/testfile.txt
A::OWNER@:rwatTcCy
A::GROUP@:tcy
A::EVERYONE@:tcy
[root@node01 ~]#
nfs4_getfacl /mnt/testdir 


# file: /mnt/testdir
A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy
A::GROUP@:tcy
A::EVERYONE@:tcy
# each entry means like follows
# ACE = Access Control Entry
# (ACE Type):(ACE Flags):(ACE Principal):(ACE Permissions)
Description
ACE Type  
A A = Allow : it means Allow accesses.
D D = Deny : it means Deny accesses.
ACE Flags  
d Directory-Inherit : New sub-directory inherits the same ACE.
f File-Inherit : New file inherits the same ACE but not inherit inheritance-flag.
n No-Propogate-Inherit : New sub-directory inherits the same ACE but not inherit inheritance-flag.
i Inherit-Only : New file/sub-directory inherits the same ACE but this directory does not have ACE.
ACE Principal  
(USER)@(NFSDomain) Common User
For [NFSDomain], it is just the Domain name that is specified for [Domain] value in [idmapd.conf].
(GROUP)@(NFSDomain) Common Group
For group, Specify [g] flag like this ⇒ A:g:GROUP@NFSDomain:rxtncy
OWNER@ Special Principal : Owner
GROUP@ Special Principal : Group
EVERYONE@ Special Principal : Everyone
ACE Permissions  
r Read data of files / List files in directory
w Write data to files / Create new files in directory
a Append data to files / Create new sub-directory
x Execute files / Change directory
d Delete files or directories
D Delete files or sub-directories under the directory
t Read attributes of files or directories
T Write attributes to files or directories
n Read named attributes of files or directories
N Write named attributes of files or directories
c Read ACL of files or directories
C Write ACL of files or directories
o Change ownership of files or directories
ACE Permissions Aliases For using nfs4_setfacl, possible to use Alias for ACE Permissions
R R = rntcy : Generic Read
W W = watTNcCy : Generic Write
X X = xtcy : Generic Execute

[4] Add or Delete ACE.
