Same issue here

Me neither, but the site’s owner says he has access. I may have lost access unintentionally, looking for a preference on his end he can check on or off.

My staff member had this issue as well. Shopify live chat told me this was a device issue. It is NOT. Have the owner/admin of the store select the “manage settings” permission under “Administration”. The reason this is happening is because “Files” is under “manage settings” permission. Rather than it being under “Online Store>themes”. Doing this will also give staff permissions to view and edit some of the store details, tax information, and allow you to view other staff accounts, but it does not give staff access to any critical settings like changing the domains or ownership of the store. So while shopify should really fix this issue and put the “files” permission under “Online Store” access. It is at least safe enough for your staff to have access to this area of shopify. See the attached screen shot. Hope it helps.

See my reply to the OP above.

See my reply to the OP above. Your store owner needs to give you “manage settings” permission. It is safe for him to do so.

I’ve just started running into this issue, last week it was functioning perfectly fine!
