I have always saved FCP files to my external hard drive, and opened files from that hard drive to import into FCP. When I logged in today, it's not letting me save anything to that hard drive or open anything from it (saying I don't have permission). I checked permissions, they're fully open as always. I can still access that hard drive in any other program, just not FCP. Are there permissions specific to FCP that I need to set?

This is what Tom meant. If FCP is not there, you need to add, and make sure the box is checked.

Make sure FCP has Full Disk Access in Privacy System Preferences.
Post a screenshot the info window for the drive including the permission settings.
Below permissions there should be an option for apple to all content or something like that. It looks like the folder belongs to another user.
Please confirm that the application has Full Disk Access.
Screenshots attached of full permissions on the drive, and how it appears when I try to access it in FCP. I believe there are no privacy or permission issues?
Thanks for the screenshot Luis. Is that “Security and Privacy” window for the drive itself, or for FCP? If it’s for the drive, can you assist me with how I’d access that menu?
Never mind, Luis! That did the trick. Thank you!
