Everytime I tried to install themes and modules in my backdrop site, I get this error.But where I can set up the premissions? I'm using a Admin Account with the premisson to install themes and modules.
2) Provide additional information about your hosting.
* Where are you hosting?
* Do you have access to the server level permissions?
* Are they configured as described in the file-permissions-and-ownership article?
I find that most "permissions" related problems are related to ownership and permissions of files and directories on the server.
There is an existing issue in the Backdrop CMS core issue queue to improve this error message to be more helpful. We would welcome additional input and suggestions. We've updated that issue to reference this situation.

@brad.bulger - Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm pretty sure that your suggestion would work if the user has access to the staging directory. In my tests, I was able to add a config recipe to the site...
Wouldn't it work to put the new files into the staging directory, and then go to the Configuration management form? Or is the problem that that directory has other changes you don't want to import?...
I see the conundrum now. Maybe the security teams can work something out between them. I see some people applying to become maintainers of the Drupal 7 modules, as well, which might help.
Thanks.

The problem might be with your server permissions.
