My understanding was that this is about logins defined in upsd.users file, that can be used to limit certain operations.  So upsd decides how to filter operations (thinking of it and revising the docs, I don't believe there are now options to bind an upsd login to only some particular devices represented on this upsd), and upsmon decides how to log in (e.g. how many sessions it needs from same process into same hostname and login to upsd), and a human admin decides where to set or not the particular name and password in a NUT client.

Yes, that is my understanding of current practice, which is why I will describe it in the RFC. However I think the RFC should expect "login to a UPS".
