permission denied in Docker container - docker

Question

I am new to Docker and I am trying to run a container following this tutorial and was running into some issues while using the --volume or -v as shown below:
docker run -v <absolute path to host directory>:<absolute path to container working directory> <image id>
So mine looks like this:
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v /usr/app/node_modules -v "$(pwd)":/usr/app 900a3497fc39
The error thrown is this:
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /usr/app/package.json
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/app/package.json'
npm ERR! [Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/app/package.json'] {
npm ERR! errno: -13,
npm ERR! code: 'EACCES',
npm ERR! syscall: 'open',
npm ERR! path: '/usr/app/package.json'
npm ERR! }
npm ERR!
npm ERR! The operation was rejected by your operating system.

I have built the image without any issues:
docker build -f Dockerfile.dev .

My Dockerfile.dev looks like this:
FROM node
WORKDIR /usr/app
COPY ./package.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
CMD [ "npm", "run", "dev" ]
And the package.json looks like this:
{
"name": "vite-counter",
"scripts": {
"dev": "vite",
"build": "vite build"
},
"dependencies": {
"vue": "^3.0.0-beta.15"
},
"devDependencies": {
"vite": "^1.0.0-beta.3",
"#vue/compiler-sfc": "^3.0.0-beta.15"
}
}
From what I understand, I do not have sufficient permissions in the container to run this. This is exactly what I was following in the tutorial. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix this?
