[Solved] Multiple identities when running systemctl

When I run systemctl without sudo, I get a questions which identity to use for authentication. The system used to be a htpc and was installed by user kodi, while my personal user is mattias. I don't want it to ask this question, but use my own user automatically. Where do I change this?

$ systemctl disable openhab2
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-unit-files ====
Authentication is required to manage system service or unit files.
Multiple identities can be used for authentication:
 1.  kodi
 2.  mattias
Choose identity to authenticate as (1-2):

If you don't need admin rights on kodi anymore, remove kodi from the wheel group. Then the user kodi shouldn't show up on any polkit prompts anymore.
