I have problem to access my Macintosh HD even I'm admin, I can't change sharing & permissions when I go to Macintosh HD info, I get only message: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission." This start happening when I start using High Sierra. If someone have answer to this question please help. Thanks.
In High Sierra, you cannot change the permissions on the root level of the hard drive.
If it is an external drive, you can set it to "Ignore ownership" in Get Info.
Or, you can just create folders at the root level to use instead. Once created, you can modify the contents without authenticating.
Disappointing. Apple's making my computing life **** at the moment.

How so? Because you must create a folder at root to use instead of just saving files at the root? Must be ****.
I will do that. Thank you.
My problem is since loading High Sierra I cannot backup or sync files between my desktop and laptop because of the permissions issue. Any help?
This helped. Thank you for saving my nerves.
Best security ever: make everything read-only.
What's the point of the 'Admin' role or `root` if you can't do **** with it?
Yes i know that is the issue what ever they did as a "fix" completely screwed us as users,
Same problem with me for AVID MediaComposer. Should not have updated to this **** High Sierra ! How do you disable SIP ?

Looks good. I may give that a try. Tell you what, though...as having done fair amount of *nix admin-type stuff, I find this totally odious on Apple's part.
No, because this issue is causing application install problems that currently have absolutely NO work around and cost huge amounts of wasted time and money.
Yes seriously. How about QuarkXpress Kiraly?
