Created user can not use pacman or sudo commands

Hey everyone. So I installed Arch. I created a user and have been trying to give it permission to use sudo and pacman. Everytime I try I'm told I have to be in root to do it. I added the user to the group wheel which should have permission to do what ever. I also manually added the user in sudoers. I've made sure to use EDITOR=nano visudo when editing. I've rebooted several times and the user still can't do anything. Is there something else that I am missing?

Here is a quick screenshot of my sudoers file:

The user's name is aziz.

Thank you.

My bad. This is what I have in the sudoers file.

##
## User privilege specification
##
#root ALL=(ALL) ALL
aziz ALL=(ALL) ALL

## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

## Same thing without a password
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Unless I'm missing something big, the user should have permission to use sudo, pacman and other commands correct?
