From the output above, it appears that such directory has been owned by root, and it’s secured with root permissions. Hence, normal users shouldn’t have access to it by design. If one wants to bypass this, one may set permissions toward such directory:
chmod ugo+rwx foldername # to give read, write, and execute to everyone.
chmod a=r foldername # to give only read permission for everyone.
