Is there any way to set the permissions for the registry file? I'm trying to let another user read that file but it just get's changed every 2 seconds back to 0600.

Unfortunately, permissions of the registry file cannot be configured right now.
You can open an issue with an enhancement request here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new)
