Failed to parse /etc/grafana/grafana.ini

Grafana Configuration
1

I created a backup of my config file using
sudo mv /etc/grafana/grafana.ini grafana.ini.default

Copied that default file back to the default location
sudo cp grafana.ini.default /etc/grafana/grafana.ini

When restarting the grafana server I am receiving the following errors.
lvl=crit msg=“Failed to parse /etc/grafana/grafana.ini, open /etc/grafana/grafana.ini: p
ermission denied”

I suspect the account running the grafana server/service does not have access, but I cannot find what the required permissions are for the grafana.ini file.

The current permissions are:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 15105 Jan 16 18:03 /etc/grafana/grafana.ini

What are the chmod commands needed to reset these file permissions for the grafana group?

Using the command below would resolve the issue, but it’s basically giving everyone permission to read the file.

sudo chmod a+r \etc\grafana\grafana.ini
