The journal is not supposed to be a super-flexible routing daemon that
can pipe your logs into arbitrary place with arbitrary filters
implementing arbitrary acess control. That already exists, it's
"rsyslog" or a similar project. It's explicitly not what we try to cover
with journald.

That said you can make this work by setting journald to split things up
by uid (SplitMode=uid), and then playing games with FS ACLs...
