I researched this issue a bit. I don't have it on my machine.
The "Access Denied" is an error that comes from sd_bus_call, aka D-Bus. org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied I think. Here's the source: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/systemctl/systemctl.c
You can trace the D-Bus stuff like so:
# SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemctl
Sent message type=method_call sender=n/a destination=org.freedesktop.systemd1 object=/org/freedesktop/systemd1 interface=org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager member=ListUnitsByPatterns cookie=1 reply_cookie=0 error=n/a
Got message type=method_return sender=n/a destination=n/a object=n/a interface=n/a member=n/a cookie=1 reply_cookie=1 error=n/a

Why would D-Bus give Access denied to your call? I didn't find an answer.

I don't have this issue in Rawhide. I just finished updating to the
latest updates (at least those that weren't skipped), and systemctl
works just fine. Are there any messages in journalctl when you try to
run the command? journalctl -r will show the most recent messages
first, and journalctl -f will follow (tail) the messages, showing them
as they arrive.
