So the issue is that I can login to my server just fine using:
ssh root@SERVER_IP_ADRESS
But when I try to login with a user I created from root:
ssh USERNAME@SERVER_IP_ADRESS
5
I get:
Permission denied (publickey).
The steps I went through before this.
SSH generated a key Created an Ubuntu 16.04 droplet with given SSH key. SSH into server with root
$ adduser user_name usermod -aG sudo user_name

Be sure to give the http link and not the ssh link. I solved the permission key issue with that
