EACCES can't run ping command

General
1

I am newly running Node-Red v2.2.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS running on an OnLogic Panel PC. Prior to this, Node-Red was running on the Linux side of our on-board PLC and we had no problems with ping. Since moving to the Panel PC, we get the debug "EACCES can't run ping command" and the downloaded ping nodes don't work. The package downloaded to Node-Red was node-red-node-ping.

I have seen a lot of stuff online about EACCES and permissions of certain things but nothing specific to this. We use ping to monitor overall internet access & cloud connection in our application. Any info/help on this would be greatly appreciated!
