/media is not for NFS. It's for local physical media.

You configure autofs to mount at /mnt/Commercial/[User], and put the
credentials in the user's $HOME/.commercial.creds, and you should be
able to activate *any* individual's user's mounting of the content,
with their default ownership, with their individual credentials.

See above. Never put individual user passwords in /etc/fstab, it needs
to be readable by all users. There are also risks putting those
credentials on the user's home directory, but it's slightly less
dangerous.

If you'd like to be somewhat safer, use Kerberized credentials to
allow users to automount their own content, as described at
