[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1796342, member: 396914"] Welcome to the forum. What is the location to which you are trying to save the documents? Is it in your account area? Normally macOS will only let you write to your own home folder and subfolders as a security precaution and NOT to any other users home folder. You didn't say how you did the "carbon copy," but if you copied one account home folder to another home folder, macOS would block access to the moved folder because of ownership. And if the folder you cannot write to is actually a subfolder of a folder to which you do NOT have write access, the higher folder permissions will prevent writing to the subfolder. Basically, you have to have R&W to the entire chain of folders down to the target folder. [/QUOTE]
