I have a set of nested folders, that I reuse for new projects, I want to remove the requirement to ever password to change a folder name.

Please clarify, somatization information is needed in order to move forward:

1-In Finder, Get Info on the folder at the top of the tree.

2-In Sharing and Permissions section, click the + button and add your current username with read/write.

3-Select that user and from the ?…? menu, choose Set Owner to your current user.

4-Remove the old user from the list.

5-In the … menu, select Apply to Enclosed…

Can you please provide additional clarifications on steps number 3 and 4, please and thank you.

Regards,

Sebastian

Additional information, I created this set of folders with subfolders on a previous Mac, of which I was the owner, on this new Mac, of which I have the same folders I am now trying to make myself the owner, so I have permissions and I don’t have to enter the password every time I copy and paste the fold and make updates to it, here’s the problem the previous owner was my name. The current owner is my name as a result when I follow the instructions that you have provided it’s ignoring the owner issue because the previous owner and the current owner are the same and still requires me to enter the password every time I have reached out to Apple and they said, there is nothing that can be done about this. I just have to keep entering the password. Every time I need to make any changes to the set of folders I know there has to be a solution out there. Please help me.
