<seems you cross-posted from

"API", "rights".... all a bit confusing lingo.

I'd figure that any userland program / process started by a user inherits
the user's permissions/credentials (unless some sticky bit has been set for
some prog).

It often happens that process/programs/users have no write permissions in a
certain location. Have you tried to manually create subdirectories where
your "API" is trying to create them?
