Insufficient permission to access the destination folder.

My laptop is 2018 model of macbook pro. I wanted to install a virtual machine on a 1TB Ex-SSD by using the VMware fusion. But this sentence pop up, 'Insufficient permission to access the destination folder.'

What can I do? I have tried to change the security settings of my macbook but it is not working. Is there any steps that I can follow?

Are you sure that the external drive is formatted FAT32, exFAT, HPFS+, or APFS?  Also make sure you're using and administrator account.
