+### Admin macaroon permissions
+
+The default file permissions of admin.macaroon were [changed from 0600 to
+0640](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5534). This makes it easier
+to allow other users to manage LND. This is safe on common Unix systems
+because they always create a new group for each user.
+
+If you use a strange system or changed group membership of the group running LND
+you may want to check your system to see if it introduces additional risk for
+you.
