Permission denied when checking Smart Status

[Makaveli6103]

I have been having a clicking hard drive for a while and saw this alert today on the GUI

• WARNING: The volume tank (ZFS) status is UNKNOWN: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected.Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'

I tried to check the smart status and kept getting the errors below.

Code:

[@freenas] ~> smartctl -H /dev/ada0

You need to be superuser for those commands to work.
Change to superuser with "su" first.
