qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent dockers; linux 4.4.302+ #90075 SMP Sun Jun 14 23:09:46 CST 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_geminilake_920+

What is the problem?

I use the userid and group in users and admintratro groups
When the config directory has insufficient permissions, qBittorrent reports the following error:
Another qBittorrent instance is already running.

However, the actual cause is insufficient permissions. Could qBittorrent report a permission error instead when this occurs?

Steps to reproduce

No response
