Same result:
pi at rpi4:~ $ sudo nano /etc/nut/upsd.users
pi at rpi4:~ $ upscmd myups test.battery.start.deep
Username (pi): pi
Password:
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR ACCESS-DENIED

Interesting maybe, user 'nut' and group 'nut' own that whole diretory and

OTOH, pi is a member of group 'nut'

Thanks Larry.
