I am at last implementing systemd timers. The service I created can have its status queried by a normal user. I thought I must have made a mistake. But when I do:
systemctl status cron
I get:
● cron.service - Regular background program processing daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cron.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sat 2023-08-19 18:12:04 CEST; 6 days ago

Main PID: 790 (cron)
Tasks: 1 (limit: 17837)

CPU: 14min 3.110s
CGroup: /system.slice/cron.service
└─790 /usr/sbin/cron -f
Warning: some journal files were not opened due to insufficient permissions.

Is this the expected behaviour?
If not: what could be wrong with my system?
This is on Debian 11.
