    Did you add yourself to the sudo group recently? And did not log out and log in? – muru Jun 08 '18 at 04:37
  • @muru I logged out back to the initial login page and then log back in. It did not occur to me to completely restart the server. I have since done so and that solves it. Thank you. Now I feel stupid LOL –  Jun 08 '18 at 05:19

    Please don't add "SOLVED" to the title, that's not how this site works. instead post an answer below, it's completely fine to answer your own question. You'll be able to "accept" the answer after 2 days to correctly indicate the issue is resolved. – pomsky Jun 08 '18 at 06:09
  • @pomsky muru provided the answer. So I have to wait two days to mark his answer as accepted? That's kind of weird. I guess I'll come back in 2 days –  Jun 08 '18 at 06:10
  • You can accept answer by others immediately (well, at least 15 minutes after the question is posted). You only have to wait for two days if you want accept the answer you have posted. – pomsky Jun 08 '18 at 06:12
