Dang I'm sorry.
Yeah it really was just permissions for a million folders for me. So like in the end I think it was permissions for even the higher up ones like the entire "library" folder and "user" and every one down from there in the paths it tells you in the prompts, which for me was something like library, application support, Adobe, etc. I don't remember it's not in front of me. I think it was user or library that was still set as "user only" in permissions. Remember that some of them are full of stuff so when you click "get info" to change permissions you need to also click the box at the bottom for "apply to all files inside this folder too" or whatever it says like that. It did eventually work when I went through and made sure all of them down were set to read and write. It is weird, I still don't get how it's so locked down like that but has never asked me for all that manual permission giving before now. I'm obv not a computer whiz tho; I hope you can figure it out.
