I dont know anything about web development but I am trying to upload a unity Webgl game to my wordpress page. I see tutorials that the webgl folder needs to be uploaded to the root directory public html.
I installed a file manager, but as an admin I am locked from uploading anything. Why is this the case?

Is it password protected
You have the server configuration as read only. Talk to your hosting.
You don’t have the proper permissions, contact your hosting provider.
It’s right there in the Permissions column. Set everything to read+write, including the folder itself (folders should be 0755, files 0644) https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/server/file-permissions/
What file manager is it? A WordPress plugin? What host are you on?
My take on it is that it’s not YOU who doesn’t have permission, it’s the user who WordPress itself runs as who doesn’t have permission. WordPress doesn’t have permission to modify itself. This is probably done for security, so that a malicious plugin can’t create malicious files and run them on your server, or insert viruses into the core WordPress code. You can see that only the wp-content folder is unlocked, that’s where your site’s uploaded content is stored, like images and themes, so only that place is allowed to be edited by WordPress.
Try logging in to your web server account’s control panel, there may already be a file manager there, or you can enable FTP access and use an FTP program to copy files to your server. It may be that your account has permission but WordPress doesn’t.
