Permission Issues Uploading Custom Color Scheme in SharePoint Online
I am struggling to upload a custom color scheme to a sharepoint online site.
I am missing all of the customization items from the web designer galleries section in site settings, but have navigated to /_catalogs/theme/15/.
When I upload from within the /15/ folder, I get the error 'The documents cannot be uploaded because different permissions are needed. Request the necessary permissions.'
All my internet searches point to this being due to not having custom scripting enabled at a tenant level, but this is not the case. In fact, a separate site under the same tenant built by my predecessor uses a custom color scheme.
Is there anything else that could cause me to not have permission to upload a color scheme and have items missing from my web designer gallery? I have owner permissions on the site, which is a communication hub site.
Thanks

Hi PeterRising ,
I'm a global admin on Office 365, so per my understanding I should have all Sharepoint permissions. Is that not correct?
No not at all. GA permissions are unrelated to Site Collection rights. From the SharePoint Admin Center, highlight the site in question and go to Permissions > Manage Admins as shown below.
Make sure your account is included here.
