The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission.

Can't change the "sharing and permissions" in "Get Info" for the internal hard drive. I'm the administrator and using OS 10.14.6.

Any suggestions?

Mojave locked down the root level of the startup drive. You can't change the permissions.

That would only change permissions on the root level of the hard drive. Unless that is what you wish to modify, changing permissions there will not help.
