I really depends on what you are trying to do. Most things should not need root so if you find yourself using sudo all the time you may be over using it.
The machines were always set up by the client’s team, mostly not being anymore onboard. I only got the server address + credentials, so i could check for web related issues on them. I am experienced enough to know how inexperienced i am with things other than my area of work.
Sometimes they had issues on machines they only had credentials to, but no one to fix. The main sudo trouble i sometimes had, was when trying to work on websites, that were all created by root …

Maybe you messed up permissions?

Yeah that’s sounds like you need to onboard a proper sysadmin with Linux experience. I’m sure there is more to the story though
