openvpn-csc files (for Client Specific Overrides) still owned by nobody

We just upgraded our OPNSense so we are running 23.7.9 software version.

I logged into the OPNSense shell interface because I could not get the static IPs assigned to our OpenVPN clients using the Web interface options, specifically under the Client Specific Overrides screens. 

Through the shell interface, I was able to see that the files were still owned by "nobody":

root@opnsense3:/var/etc/openvpn-csc/1 # ls -ltr
total 40
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  nobody  38 Nov 30 09:45 cxxxxxx

root@opnsense3:/var/etc/openvpn-csc/1 # cat cxxxxxx
ifconfig-push 10.0.6.2 10.0.6.1


I was wondering if it's because the ownership of the files were still owned by "nobody", that the files were not reflecting my changes under Client Specific Overrides screens for IPv4 Tunnel Network.

After I manually changed the files using ROOT user, the users were able to get their appropriate static IPs.
