Native Access Application Folder access?

I keep seeing NA2 flagging up my Applications folder as having access issues (although it hasn't affected installs)
When I check my folder permissions only 'everyone' is set to 'read only' but if I click the lock and enter my admin password I can set that to read and write too and for a while the red flag goes away, sometimes as much as several weeks, but it keeps coming back - something seems to want that folder to be read only for 'everyone' although I'm not sure why NA2 counts as 'everyone' as I granted NA2 full disk access ages ago.

Hi there,
Your application being marked red and invalid is only a cosmetic issue in Native Access. In our newest updated version you should not see this application folder marked red and invalid, so I recommend updating your Native Access version. However, users irritated by this can resolve it via the following steps:
- rename existing “Native Instruments” in Macintosh HD > Applications to “Native Instruments 1"
- create a new folder and name it “Native Instruments”
- move all the folders that are in the “Native Instruments 1" directory into the “Native Instruments” folder
- delete the now empty “Native Instruments 1" folder

I see the same behaviour although I'm not experiencing an issue.
Are you trying to change permissions of the /Applications folder or the NI Applications location which is /Applications/Native Instruments?
Note that on MacOS the /Applications folder should have 'Everyone' = Read only. Don't change this root folder. The correct permissions for /Applications folder is as per your screen grab. 'System' and 'Admin' = Read & Write. 'Everyone' = Read only
/Applications/Native Instruments should show 'System' and 'Wheel' = Read & Write and 'Everyone' = Read only.
If you are not experiencing a further software issue then this is potentially just a bug in the GUI which has not impacted me so far.
