Native Access Application Folder access?

Kymeia

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:

1. rename existing “Native Instruments” in Macintosh HD > Applications to “Native Instruments 1"
2. create a new folder and name it “Native Instruments”
3. move all the folders that are in the “Native Instruments 1" directory into the “Native Instruments” folder
4. 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.
