Q: why does my external hard drive need my authentication to copy, delete, etc
Both of my 2 external hard drives suddenly started demanding that I authenticate each time I need to transfer data between them (no problems to my iMac's HD). I'm lost. I do have screenshots,
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Your suggestion seems to have worked -- Thank You! I have several other external drives that were already set already with "Ignore ownership on this volume." However, I'm still wondering how the two regularly attached hard drives were changed without warning.
