Bug Description
* Impact
keyboard backlight control keys don't work in cosmic
* Test case
On a laptop with keyboard backlight and keys to control the level, try using the keys, they should change the level
* Regression potential
The change is to lift some systemd process restriction, have extra access shouldn't create issue but check that other features like suspend, battery pourcentage report, etc keep working

* Apple Macbook Air
