Finder wants password confirmation when moving or deleting file / Big Sur

Hello,

I've reset OSX today and copy/pasted all the folders from a time machine backup to my fresh installation. Now finder asks me for my password for every change I want to make on those files. The user rights seem to be ok. It's read and write and I have admin rights.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
