I am the admin for my account but can't change permissions... Hi-I am running Ventura on my 2020 M1 MBP. When I highlight my hard drive and go to the bottom I noticed that in Sharing & Permissions I can't change the "wheel" & "everyone" to Read & Write. Is that the way it's supposed to be? I unlock the lock and put in my password but I get the message that I can't do that... See screenshot. Thank you for your help! Merry Christmas!

Permission error opening File in Final cut pro So I've read questions and responses concerning this situation, and have followed all suggested steps up to this point. When I select the "Get info"on my external drive, I do not have the option with the Admin Lock. It just says at the bottom that I have "custom access". I am the only user on my computer so I'm assuming that I have Admin access since I do when I make other types of changes and can access the Lock.
