splunkfwd user access to root owned logs

Can anyone tell me the best practice for splunkfwd user to access  others and root own dir/logs ?

 

Not interested in changing dir/log ownership.

We could do ACL - lots of work there.

Out of the box what is the access level of the splunkfwd post install ?
