Sharing and Permissions on Mac HD

Can't make any changes in Sharing and Permissions settings on any of my Macs, I get this_The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission.

I am logged in as the only user of each of the Macs and have always been able to change all Sharing and Permissions settings and now cannot. ???? Thus I am unable to access one of my Macs from the others in Finder even though on the same wifi.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1

You can't change the permissions on the top-level of the startup drive, nor do you need to.

That won't stop you from accessing that Mac from the others.

What part of your Mac are you trying to access from the others?
