How to create a user on a remote Ubuntu server and restart the service from under it remotely?

Question

linux

Good afternoon !
There are 2 servers with ubuntu, you need to create a non-privileged user from under which to restart the nginx service.
I did this: I
created a user: useradd -ppass -m -s /bin/bash restart
created a file in sudoers.d\restart
with the following content:
restart ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart nginx
In sshd_config added
AllowUsers restart root
rebooted the sshd service
After that I try to reboot from the server with the command:
systemctl --host [email protected] restart nginx
I get:

Failed to restart nginx.service: Interactive authentication required.

at the same time, if I do
systemctl --host [email protected] status nginx
that, I get the status of the service and everything is fine.
Tell me what am I doing wrong?
where am i wrong?

It looks like you can't do without an explicit ssh call with sudo
