Big Sur permissions apply to enclosed items greyed out

Hello all...


Climbing the mountain for all the advice I can get.


Why is it then On Catalina, Apply to enclosed items works and Big Sur is all grey.


I copy between Macs all day long... Yet some folders I have admin access, on both macs, but the permissions are a mess on the Big Sur Home level.


For Catalina I have been able to align the home directory... all perms are the same. Me, Staff, Everyone, Admin. on Big Sur, Surly not.


How then does one align one's home directory.


Best to all.



MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

All, Talked to a Apple support guy... They recommend https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-file-sharing-on-mac-mh17131/11.0/mac/11.2.2 to set up shared folders instead of using Finder based connections to other macs.
