dovecot - Mar 2014 - [Bug] doveadm pw Fatal: open(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: Permission denied

dovecot --version => 2.1.7

When I as a normal user the command:

doveadm pw -s sha512-crypt -p example_password

the command exit with return code 89 and the message

doveconf: Fatal: open(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: Permission denied

If I make Dovecot's configuration files world readable the error goes away.
 Please remove configuration file dependencies from "doveadm pw".

what about calling administrative commands not as normal user?

and how is it supposed to work without the configuration?

how do you come to the conclusion that a command called "doveadm"
is supposed to be started as non-admin?
