for people who come here to look for a solution: @lucasmontec : sudo vim /etc/ajenti/config.yml (or whatever text editor you prefer) add: restricted_user: yourusername at the bottom of the file obviously save and exit sudo service ajenti restart

now elevate works on my Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.10 Release: 16.10 Codename: yakkety

Try editing /etc/ajenti/config.yml

There you should add a top-level option “restricted_user”, try setting it to a user who has sudo access
