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!

There are aspects of Ventura the use has control over and those are Only located in the User Account ( Home folder )


The Operating System in Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura resided in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User
