Hi, I got error below when I tried to reload the squid.conf. Is it because that the user account doesn't have rights to the squid process? Please help, thank you!

db@db-Bluebird:~$ systemctl restart squid
db@db-Bluebird:~$ squid -k reconfigure

    systemctl restart normally needs root or sudo to restart the service.
