Monit users are independent of M/Monit accounts - if you want to be able to perform actions (start/stop/restart/monitor/unmonitor) for Monit services via M/Monit, you should add the "allow <username>:<password>" to Monit and set the same in M/Monit's Host admin for the given host (if the mentioned allow statement is present when Monit registers, it will set it automatically). If you don't want to use the actions from M/Monit, you don't need to add additional allow statement to Monit if you use for example PAM or IP address access control already and if it's sufficient in your environment.
