You will have to execute the following command in order to provide access to the current (non-root) user:
sudo usermod -a -G lxd $(whoami)
newgrp lxd
Confirm it by executing
/snap/bin/lxc query --wait -X GET /1.0
You should get a JSON response.

You'll also have to logout and login again after the `usermod` command. – Roger Dueck Jan 24 '22 at 21:25

@RogerDueck why? – Vishrant Jan 24 '22 at 21:57

`newgrp lxd` should come *after* the `usermod` command. That solves the problem. – Roger Dueck Jan 25 '22 at 23:17

I tried, but it says "Suggested edit queue is full". Can you clear it? – Roger Dueck Jan 25 '22 at 23:26

My user is already a member of 'lxd', so this isn't it, for me. – Jonathan Hartley Jan 06 '23 at 20:52

Simply use the below commands:-
Add an existing user to group lxd.
sudo adduser {your-username} lxdChange the current group ID during a login session.
newgrp lxdCheck the attached group to the user.
idlxc list

This is a slightly different command to perform the same fix as is already described by another answer some two years earlier. – Jonathan Hartley Jan 06 '23 at 20:53
