Does Android 8.1 allow read/write access to sd card?

[Android Central Question]

I have a Samsung Tab A with 8.1. I need to use it for text files but I can't seem to access the SD card to store my files. Since the tablet only has 16gb memory I installed an sd card. After moving my .txt files to the card my program can't find them. I was to that it's possible 8.1 doesn't allow read/write access. Help!
