Let's do this a different way.
Ww will change the group to users which cooltwou is in that group.
Then we will give the group write access.
Do this.
cd /opt
sudo chown root:users ums -R
sudo chmod g+rwx ums -R
sudo chmod g+s ums -R

Then copy UMS-Linux-15.6.0-x86_64.tgz to: /opt/ums/

Then from the /opt/ums/ folder:
tar -xvzf UMS-Linux-15.6.0-x86_64.tgz

See how that works out.

There was an error in my previous post.
I have changed it now.

Originally it was:
sudo chown root:cooltwou ums -R
Now changed to:
sudo chown root:users ums -R
