Can't write to external hard drives after Ventura upgrade

Have 2 external drives that worked flawlessly before upgrading to Ventura. Now I can only read from both of them. They are both formatted APFS drives. Getting the attached error message.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Is either a time machine drive? Those are read only, but they would’ve been read only before.

do you need permissions on the external drive i.e. is it shared with other users that need to protect their space?

If not, get info on the drive and check the box to ignore ownership.
