On the host in question Run the command: domainname

That wants to match whatever your domain is. If it doesn't it will fail even if you have all the server rules configured correctly. This is a sudo + netgroups/hostgroups 'feature'

When a user tries to use sudo (in this case "sudo su -") it fails and they get the error "user is not allowed to run sudo on client-host.  This incident will be reported." I verified via the log files that the client is making requests to the IPA server when the user is attemping to use sudo and it fails.  I temporarily disabled using the IPA server for sudo and I get the standard "User not in the sudoers file...."

I created a sudo command "/bin/su", created a sudo rule "Sudo to root" , added the group the user in question is a part of to the WHO-->User Groups; Added the Host Group the target client host is part of to Access This Host-->Host Groups and added the sudo command to the sudo rule via Allow-->Sudo Allow Commands.  When I delete the sudo rule I get the same result as I did when I temporarily disbled the client host using tghe IPA server for sudo verification.
