Are you running as user or root?

What are the permissions for /boot/grub?

What is the ownership for /boot/grub?

I have one user account, and i am running in it. i assume it is user.
permissions are as follows:
OWner: View/modify
Groups:View
Others: View

ownership: root.

The way that your permissions and ownership are set up only root can modify /boot/grub. This is typical in almost any Linux distribution. You need to log in as root in order to modify anything in /boot/grub.
