How do I get permission on my own Mac Studio to store and transfer files as I want them? I bought a new M2 Mac Studio running Ventura last week and having trouble adapting to the new settings.I want to transfer some files from my Imac to the HD on the Studio but it won't allow it because "you don't have permission". When I check with "Get info" the system has read and write enabled but the wheel and everyone options are 'read only'. This seems to mean that I can't transfer files to the HD ( 994.66gb free ). When I try to change the permissions it is not allowed. How do I get permission on my own computer to store and transfer files as I want them? No one else uses it but me. regards simon [Re-Titled by Moderator]

modifying disk access MacOS 13.3.1 it looks like I can just see what apps have disk access (and what level of access they have) rather than modifying it. How do I actually control access? I have admin on the machine, but nothing was asked of me in those regards. I am on MacOS 13.3.1 [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Personal Information]

Thanks for your attention, I found a way to add permissions.

As shown below:

1. Click the lock icon and enter the current user password

2. Find the application to which you want to add permissions on the right and click the checkbox to grant permissions

3. Once everything is done, close the current window
