Error 160385: Workspace or data source is read only - ArcGIS Pro Segment Mean Shift

[GormanJoe]

Hello,

I am trying to run the Segment Mean Shift tool from the Image Analyst extension and will many times get an error when I try to increase the spatial and spectral detail. The error is Error 160385: Workspace or data source is read only. As you can in the picture, when it fails it looks like its trying to write the output raster into the my temp files and then it produces the error. 

I set the output raster as the path going to the correct folder, but for whatever reason (and not every time) it changes to go into my temp folders. Is there any way to make sure it doesn't do that?

I've tried undoing the read only option in the temp files, but it just reverts back to being read only.

I ran into this with Pairwise Dissolve and it turned out that the tool was just running out of memory. Once I reduced the input dataset it worked fine.

I have enough memory and I am still having this error message. Did you find out how to fix this?

I think I also have enough memory, but when I reduced the input it started working. If I had to guess, there might be a memory issue within the code itself and not necessarily the machine.
