CLIion Failed to launch elevation service using 'pkexec': finished with exit code 127

Ubuntu 20.04 (running Windows 10 WSL2) Jetbrains CLion 2021.2.3 (linux)

In CLion's Run/Debug configurations, if I set "Run with root privileges", whenever I hit run or debug, I first get a popup "Starting elevation service", which then errors out.

CLion gives: Error running 'all-am': Failed to launch elevation service using 'pkexec': Process finished with exit code 127

I read another post stating to make sure you are not trying to execute a "library" which I'm not. (I'm running the executable for my project)

If I remove the "Run with root privileges", the software will run and I get my GUI, but I do need to be able to run/debug the software with root privileges.

Below is an output of CLion's logs:
