Mistake in Troubleshoot Manual?

Hello! 

 

During starting Adobe lightroom Classic there is a popup window with trouble about user accout permissions.

Than I read article "troubleshoot user account permissions" (https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-basic-troubleshooting-fix-most-issues.html#Troubleshootuseraccountpermissions ) and I read there, what I should:

Manually change the permissions on the following folders and on all the items in these folders to Read & Write, so that Adobe applications are able to write to these folders when opened or during use:

  • /Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/

 

I didn't understand which user will have the permission. I read another article "Use a script to restore permissions".  I checked the code of scripts before starting and I found out:

declare -a arr=( "Documents/Adobe/" "Library/Preferences/Adobe/" "Library/Caches/Adobe/" "Library/Application Support/Adobe/" )

 

So I have two questions:

1. Which user should I give the permissions?

2. Which folder do Adobe Lightroom Classic need for correct work?

"Library/Preferences/Adobe/" or "Library/Preferences"?

 

 

MacOS Monterey 12.1

Lightroom Classic: 11.1 [ 202112022200-7fd1f998 ]

 

I'm looking forward to hear from you soon

Best Regards, Artem

I had the same error, ran the script and all permissions were correctly set. Easier than manually trying to change all the permissions.

I think that given permissions "for all" for read&write is security threat.
