This is the first of many post that I will be making in regards to noob questions, so I thank you all in advance for being helpful and supportive with my self taught learning process.

I am currently practicing navigating the Terminal in order to become more proficient with the Linux Operating System. So far I'm doing okay, but i'v encountered some issues. I do not have permission to "mkdir" or "rm". I also do not have access to my own root folder. I am confused as to how this is possible because I was the original owner of the OS. I log in as Kali@Kali, so how is it that an administrator does not have all the command permissions? Maybe I'm not the administrator for some reason? Maybe I'm in over my head! lol. Not even sure where to start looking to change these settings.

Thanks again.
