Subject: [MlMt] Auto-updater permission elevation</p>
<p dir="auto">Hi,</p>
<p dir="auto">I use MailMate from a non-admin user account. It is installed in /Applications, and<br>
apps installed there require admin permission to update. I’m on Big Sur.</p>
<p dir="auto">Quite a while ago, the MailMate auto-updater stopped working for me, failing with<br>
a permission error. It used to be that it would prompt for the admin password,<br>
but this doesn’t happen anymore.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is anyone else using this kind of setup? Does it work for you?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I have the same issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">It appears that from r5805 to r5806 the ”group“ and ”other” permissions in the MailMate.app folder were changed from ”r-x” to ”——”, so executing for anybody but the owner is not possible anymore (as is the case when installing the application from an administrator account, and then trying to use it from any other account):</p>
<p dir="auto">➜ ls -al MailMate_r5805/MailMate.app/<br>
total 0<br>
drwxr-xr-x@ 10 michael staff 320B May 13 22:05 Contents<br>
➜ ls -al MailMate_r5806/MailMate.app/<br>
total 0<br>
drwx------@ 10 michael staff 320B May 17 21:31 Contents</p>
<p dir="auto">The same holds for the hierarchy below ”Contents” (and for r5807).</p>
