The capability you are requesting was delivered as part of CPD3.5:
CPD 3.5 includes a new capability called "Storage volumes" https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQNUZ_3.5.0/cpd/admin/manage_storage_volumes.html
NFS is supported natively but a storage volume can be connected to a new or existing PVC using any available storage class. For example, for SMB or CIFS, a storage class can be added and a new PVC created using a CSI driver such as https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb
Admins control access by adding/removing users from a volume: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQNUZ_3.5.0/cpd/admin/manage_storage_volumes.html#manage-storage-volumes__manage-access
Users create "storage volume" connections that use pass their CPD credentials for authentication: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQNUZ_3.5.0/wsj/manage-data/conn-mv.html
