Description
My user is in the Administrators group. I can use sudo without issues when I'm at the machine.
but when I ssh into my machine I can't use sudo. It just says: You are not allowed to use sudo
Being able to use sudo when accessing the machine over ssh seems like a decent use case.
Fix please!
Edit: just to be clear, i am ssh'ing in to the same user

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with the same user locally and over SSH, comparing why sudo authorization differs between the two sessions. Done means a user in the Administrators group can use sudo when connecting to the same machine over SSH; the issue names no files or tests to begin with.
