It's still all access control, I don't really see a difference. Yes SSH access could perhaps give you access to more things, with less fine-grained permissions, but it just depends on the replacement(s).
The overall point should be, figure out what your needed access control permissions are and then find and use tools to meet those needs. SSH might be the tool, it might not be.
Shifting from tail -f <logs> to any web UI doesn't remove the access control for logging, it just shifts it into the fancy web UI. That may or may not be better, it's just different. One could certainly argue the fancy web UI is a better UX, but that's a totally different reason for selecting that tool or not. Access Control happens either way.
