systemd sessions, alsa and su

Hello.

I have user1 and user2.

If I login to user1 or user2 then

 mplayer -ao alsa file 

audio works as expected.

But, if I login to user1, then

su -l user2
mplayer -ao alsa file 

audio wouldn't work because user2 does not have the required permissions to access /dev/snd/*

IIUC, systemd sets access permissions to user sessions. That's why audio worked when user2 had its own session.

Any idea how to fix this?

Re: systemd sessions, alsa and su

Is user2 included in audio group?

Edit: After reading twice my questions seems inconvinent.
