[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1807713, member: 396914"] Here is the Apple link on Migration Assistant: [url]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350[/url] In there it says: Not abundantly clear, but different users cannot share data as part of the security system unless they go through the Shared account, or use an external drive, as I described. macOS is a multi-user system, so keeping each user confined to only THEIR files is deeply embedded in the security of the system. That feature trips us up when we are the only user and forget that it is still there. [/QUOTE]
