This error refers to the permission in your operating system on the Destination folder.

It may have just started happening because you accidentally changed the Destination folder in the Import dialog box.

To fix this, go to the Lightroom Import dialog box and make a note of the folder selected under Destination on the right hand side. Then, choose one of the two options

change the destination folder back to what it was previously (if the folder had accidentally been changed); OR
in your operating system, you must change the permissions on this exact folder to WRITE permission.

I'm having the same issue on a 2018 Mac Mini. I keep getting the following error message and made sure the destination folder is writeable and has the necessary permission. I'm currently trying to import the photos from an SD card onto my external Hard drive.
