Hmm? Add yourself to the "wheel", "adm" or "systemd-journal" groups to
see other user's logs. If you are not a member of any of these groups
you won't get access though, for a good reason, as logs should be
private to users. There really needs to be an authenticated operation
in place before access can be granted, and that's done via the group
membership of any of the three groups mentioned above.
