permissions denied?

I tried to find the answer to this, but it seems like everyone else's problem was with singular files. It seems to me that all of my files have changed permissions on them. I can't edit photos, documents....nothing. Everytime I try to do anything it tells me I don't have permission to do that. This seems to have happened after I updated to the latest Ventura.


How do I fix my permissions? When I run disk utility at startup, it says nothing is wrong.

iMac Pro, macOS 13.1

Hello Mersalmararc,


You can use these steps to adjust your permission settings for different files and folders:


1. On your Mac, select a disk, folder, or file, then choose File > Get Info.
2. If the information in Sharing & Permissions isn’t visible, click the arrow .
3. Select a user or group in the Name column, then choose a privilege setting from the pop-up menu.
•Read & Write: Allows a user to open the item and change it.
•Read only: Allows a user to open the item, but not change its contents.
•Write only (Drop Box): Makes a folder into a drop box. Users can copy items to the drop box, but can’t open it. Only the owner of the drop box can open it.
•No Access: Blocks all access to the item.


Change permissions for files, folders, or disks on Mac


Cheers!
