Turning Remote Login on or off requires Full Disk Access privileges

I am wanting to ssh into my mac to transfer some logs. In an attempt to turn on ssh via command line:

systemsetup -setremotelogin on comes up with the following error: Turning Remote Login on or off requires Full Disk Access privileges.

This is a fairly new Macbook Pro with one stock SSD HD in it. Nothing fancy. In an older post on this same issue, someone posted a nonsensical answer that was in no way relevant.

Anyone know how to allow remote ssh into the laptop?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Set it on Terminal, not ssh. If you're using the command line to set Remote Login, it's the command line that needs the Full Disk Access.

Whew.. that was a lot of mumbo jumbo to go through, but no. It is the same with this new account. Bare in mind this is nearly a brand new system with not much use. I suspect it is something Apple has done to tighten things up more. ?

Sys Prefs>Security & Privacy>Privacy tab>Full Disk Access.

I thought that was it. That would have been sweet! However, when I go where suggested... ssh is already checked. Unclicking it makes no difference. There must be another step missing.
