It look's like this.

[monuser]
	password  = pass
      	allowfrom = localhost
	actions = set
      	instcmds = all
      	upsmon master

The line 'instcmds = ALL' tell the daemon that user 'monuser' with 
password 'pass' can run all commands.

The line 'actions = set' gives the monuser rights to set variables.

Try 'man upsd.users' for more info.
