No matter what I try to import as an image, or how easily I can open an image in another program, I keep being told I do not have permission, contact administrator. I am the administrator, and nothing I do to change settings or rebooting seems to help.
I'd uninstall Inkscape and install the 64bit version. I'd start Inkscape (it will take longer to rebuild the font library), the press the reset button in Preferences>System, then close and re-launch Inkscape.
It is preferred to use the 64 bit program versions and Windows 11 may not even support 32 bit programs.
Ok, I give it a try. Please answer all the questions so to have a starting point
What Windows version?
Are there other issues with that computer?
Is this a personal computer or belongs to a business?
How many user profiles on that computer?
What version of Inkscape did you install?
Are there problems with little space on hard drive?
Are there issues with the folder of temporary files (Always YES if disk is full, and also will normally cause other programs to function less than well) ?
I originally downloaded Inkscape for 64 bit. I uninstalled it, reinstalled 32 bit to see if that would help. I uninstalled that and reinstalled 64 bit.
I followed your instructions. Still don't have permission to use images, even my own.
My OS is Windows 11 Home, 21H2
No other issues that I know of. IOBit suite is security.
Personal computer, only me using it, it names me as a user, and has administrator account (I keep trying to run Inkscape as administrator, which I have the permissions in Wiindows).
Huge space on hard drive, and temp files cleared.
I am trying to build a newsletter, but keep having this permission problem. Are there other programs that are known to interfere with Inkscape?

I'd try turning off the IObit. There may be applets that Inkscape uses that are flagged by security programs.
Plus below.
Actually, I'd turn it off when installing Inkscape. If a module gets blocked on install, some stuff might not work. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/2313
