Nov 9 at 15:28 comment added jan @nohillside I did try, but none of the previously described methods using chmod etc. work. These new APFS volumes seem to be completely sealed off from any user intervention.
Nov 8 at 14:31 comment added nohillside Not really. I probably would open Terminal and try my luck there.
Nov 8 at 9:23 comment added jan @nohillside I'm back to trying to figuring this out. I went through the options in your linked answer. I have set up TM and am able to select "Browse other backup disks ..." – while this does bring up the TM interface with the backups from the previous Mac and even shows me all the existing backups, while I am in the home folder, all subfolder (Desktop, Documents, etc.) remain inaccessible with the red icon – so exactly like when browsing from Finder. And there is no way to change any permissions via Get Info (even the lock is greyed out). Any other ideas?

Jul 22 at 7:57 comment added jan @nohillside – well, the thing is, at the moment I have not set up Time Machine on my new machine, so the Time Machine icon (with the option for browsing other disks) isn't there yet – I can't seem to figure out how to get it without setting up Time Machine first (for which I wanted to first figure out the best option, hence my question here). But either way, I would prefer not to have to use the Time Machine interface to access data on previous disks.
