According to this document, it indicates my setup SHOULD be working. It does suggest creating a cron.allow and adding all members that are allowed to use cron to this file. I fail to see the reasoning of adding users to the cron group AND to this file, but that is something the package maintainers have chosen I guess.
Still, it does not make sense why my current configuration is not working. Users are in the cron group. /etc/cron.allow does not exist and /etc/cron.deny exists and is empty. The cron daemon is running and processing nightly jobs at the system level.
