EDIT- I found the answer - I needed to change the permission for "everyone" to "Read and write"



I have a MP 7,1 with a Samsung T5 external SSD as my Time Machine drive

The icon is the standard Time Machine icon (green with counterclockwise arrow)

I wanted to change it so I did what I normally do to change an external drive icon

Opened image in Preview-->Select all-->Copy-->Right click Time Machine drive-->Get info-->Highlight icon in top left--->Paste

However, the image does not change

I relaunched Finder -- icon did not change

I restarted my MP 7,1 -- icon did not change

Did Apple make it so the Time Machine icon cannot be changed?

Thank you and be well
