I just finished upgrading my 2012 R2 servers to 2019, I have a failover cluster configured on H1, the functional level says 9.8, I want to raise it but get a permission error.
Update-ClusterFunctionalLevel : You do not have administrative privileges on the cluster. Contact your network
administrator to request access.

I have tried adding full access even to everybody and still get this error, the problem I'm now having is I can't join the other host to the cluster, it was running for about an hour and I did updates, which I've since removed still can't join the other node.
So I have two issues
1) Can't raise functional level because of permission.
2) Can't join another node to cluster. When I tried to create a new cluster with only this node the functional level was 10.3. That's why I'm assuming it will not join the 9.8 cluster.
here is error I get adding to cluster:
| * Cluster service on node NYFBH2 did not reach the running state. The error code is 0x5b4. For more information check the cluster log and the system event log from node NYFBH2. This operation returned because the timeout period expired. |
| * The server 'NYFBH2.****.local' could not be added to the cluster. An error occurred while adding node 'NYFBH2.****.local' to cluster 'NYFB_Cluster'. This operation returned because the timeout period expired |
