Access WITHIN the folders (such as moving a document into a subfolder) suddenly required admin passwordĤ. Same old file folders from previous user account desktop moved to "new" desktopģ. I was simply trying to organize my root desktop folder.Ģ. BOTH document and subfolder previously existed within the desktop folder.

Like the two users in this thread having trouble, all of a sudden I had to provide an administrative password just to move a document say, an Indesign file into a subfolder.
#Mac keeps asking for password to delete files mac
Recently my Mac system (10.6.6 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) went wonky permissions were being rewritten over and over again by some virus, InDesign kept crashing, etc. so IT ultimately created a new user account for me and moved all my files to the new account desktop. And the folders and files were all there for months, and I had previously never been prompted for credentials.Īnd my friend has been trying to explain it to me, stating that some programs will place an un-writeable file while indexing, causing the transfer to fail without creds.īut these are all programs I've been using for ages, on the same system i've been using for ages. Yet it gave me the error, even tho I had Read and Write permissions on the desktop. I dont understand why people arent getting this To answer your comment in your "edit" section, I'm not creating any directories manually.
And I excuse anyone mistakes, mistakes happen, but I think they can be avoided. but the UI is nice and pretty for anyone googling this issue as I did. That's another way to think about it, although the OP said that didnt work. If you use the proper tools, then your preferences issues would be handled automatically. It appears that you are manually creating user directories rather than using the Accounts preferences pane to create them. While I was writing this post, you added a post of your own. It sounds suspiciously like you and the OP attempted to move files outside your own directory. If you move a file, then you change both the origin and destination directories.
However, only root has the ability to alter files or directories anywhere on the system. Restricted accounts have access to anything that they are granted access to. Standard accounts, administrative accounts, and root have access to files within their own directory and to applications and resources within the root directory. Your use of the phrase "environment of a single user" illuminates nothing. Let us be clear-there is only one Desktop per user. Taken on its face, your post implies that you have more than one Desktop. Click to expand.If djmack misunderstood you earlier post, then he is to be excused.
