How disable need to sudo? Setting root to admi, sudivo, and disabling SIP didn't work


I am having to type "sudo" before most terminal commands, and am also getting EACCES errors sometimes even when using sudo when chained to a secondary file/folder.

I've done the standard setting of root user to admin, added my username with all permissions in visudo, and successfully disabled SIP. It may have to do with permissions I may have changed when I first got my Mac years ago.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be wrong?


Solution

  • None of these solutions worked as things are. Ended up wiping my computer's hard drive and permissions settings went back to normal.
