The files are owned by the group "systemd-journal" now. If you want to
grant a user access to the system journals and nothing else, add him/her
to this group.

Via file system ACLs the groups "adm" and "wheel" also get read access
to the journal files, "adm" being more a group of "folks who can see but
not do", and "wheel" being a group of folks "who can see and do". Of
course, wheel and adm might enable you to see and do much more than just
granting access to the system journals.
