permission denied for CM files at /var/log/message 1

[halj]

Hello guys,

If I access CM and go to /var/log I am not able to read the message files.
example to get backup status should be like that:
grep SUCCESS message*

I get permission denied

Any idea how I could have backup logs from command line?

user@10.20.30.40> grep SUCCESS messages*
grep: messages: Permission denied
grep: messages.1: Permission denied
grep: messages.2: Permission denied
grep: messages.3: Permission denied

user@10.20.30.40> ls -ltrh messages*
-rw------- 1 root root 21M Feb 1 04:02 messages.3
-rw------- 1 root root 14M Mar 2 12:02 messages.2
-rw------- 1 root root 16M Apr 3 03:01 messages.1
-rw------- 1 root root 2.7M Apr 8 15:30 messages
