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.
