The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered

Problem:
Recently I started facing this issue.
Whenever, I load the PowerShell ISE and Type the command to load the SharePoint PowerShell module, it starts throwing error

“The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered.”
The same error comes up in the SharePoint Management Shell.

Solution:
You have someone who has the rights to run powershell add your user as SP Shell Admin.
Add-SPShellAdmin -username DOMAIN\YourUser

That's quite the nobrainer, but what happens if your user is already SPShellAdmin, shown with Get-SPShellAdmin and you get the same error popping up? In that case, something probably happened with the SQL. They restored the farm on another server and did not migrate all the access rights. Just run Add-SPShellAdmin -username DOMAIN\YourUser again and it will set the appropriate permissions.
