I provisioned a new Suse Linux VM and am able to login successfully using Putty & azureuser's credentials. However, when trying to use sudo for any task requiring elevated privileges, it is asking me for the "root" password.
I have used Suse linux VMs in the past, and there I could use sudo. It only asked me the default azureuser's password everytime for using sudo. not sure what has changed now preventing root access.
