"other users" and "members of the same group" sound a bit ambiguous to me.
Would it be clearer to refer explicitly to the cluster owner? For example:

----------------------
Append the server log output to "filename".  If the file does not
exist, it is created.  By default, only the cluster owner can access
the log file.  If group access is enabled in the cluster, users in the
same group as the cluster owner can also read it.
----------------------
