(Analogy: you can move a locked box around even if you don’t have the key do open the box.) cp -p can and does preserve the permissions of the file, but it cannot preserve the file’s ownership in general. Since you aren’t running cp as root, it cannot create files that don’t belong to you, or that don’t belong to a group that you belong to.

What happens to migrated files without any permission?

Migrated files with any permissions in the source will carry over these permissions as unique. Permissions from the source folder will be added as new role assignments to the target library.

Where do I change the permission for a file?
