If you're not adverse to using the Terminal.app, type this into it and hit
the return key:

defaults read com.apple.safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit

AFAIK, the number returned is the number of history items that Safari
retains. To change it to a larger number of items, such as XXX (something
15 times larger than the returned number), type in this:

defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit XXX

That should do it for you. BTW, permissions don't have anything to do with
the setting.
