What is the correct permission to set a symbolic link?

Question

linux

Installed lets encrypt. Generated a certificate in /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain/
There are four files there.
The server also has a web user, which must have read access to these certificates.
Created a symbolic link for each file in /home/web. (ln -s)
But the web user does not have permission to access these files. Permission denied
How to arrange access rights correctly?
Moving is not the best option, as the certificate will be renewed every three months.

Answer 1

You don't need to change the permissions of the link, they don't matter in Linux anyway.
It is necessary to check that the user can get the original file using the original path, i.e. that on all directories it has an x, but on the file itself it has an r.
