Allowing access to tnsnames.ora stored under Grid Home

Hello All,

In our 11.2.0.3 Grid Infrastructure environment with a standalone database. The $GRID_HOME directory has got  created with root:dba as the owner:group and 750 permissions.  We found that users with unix accounts not in the dba group could not read the tnsnames.ora file inside $GRID_HOME/network/admin directory..

To resolve this read access requirement to the tnsnamesora file by non dba unix accounts, would it be okay to change the permissions for the $GRID_HOME directory to 755?  Also,what would be the impact of changing the ownership for the $GRID_HOME/network/admin directory to "oracle"

Howdy, Stranger!
