Normally you should elevate to run e.g. `sudo upsdrvctl ...` so the NUT driver program initializes as `root` and drops privileges to `nut` (tweakable as the `user=...` in ups.conf, like your RUN_AS_USER in upsmon.conf) soon after that, and default permissions on packaged files expect that. Alternately you can run a driver's service as that user account right away, probably, but this is not common.
