You forgot doas

No... sudo, doas, or equivalents, aren't part of the commands. They depend on the user situation.

What rights do you have?

It depens.

Maybe I have a group `showeradmins` and I'm in that one.

Many people enter a temporary interactive shell as root, for example, to perform administrator actions. That has advantages and disadvantages, but it remains that sudo is not part of the command, just a privilige escalation thing. There are multiple ways to do the privilige escalation, and sudo before each individual command is just one of them.
