macOS is not permitting me to change the file permissions of any file! whenever I try to add the admin which is me, finder gives me this error:

you don't have necessary permission - operation not permitted

In spite of the fact that I am the sole user

I have tried chmod, again same error - operation not permitted

The permissions are as follows!

  • The first screenshot shows your home folder, the second Terminal.app, why do you think they are related? Also, macOS-installed files are protected by SIP and can‘t be changed by any user.

  • @patrix I attached the first screenshot cause terminal falls under the home folder and I might be wrong but don't you think that changing permissions of the home folder changes the permission of everything inside it?

  • @patrix I know about SIP and I have posted this question after disablling it, but still I get this error!
