I installed the new version of Lightroom Classic CC, but when I tried to start Lightroom, I got permission issues. Then I tried every suggestion including changing the password that you suggest in your page. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. I uninstall the Lightroom then reinstall, that also did not work. So I went back and reinstall the older version. Any suggestions?

      Hello,  I have access with Adobe Lightroom Classic, but when I try to access Adobe Lightroom.  It is saying - FOlder permission denied.  The folder "desktop" cannot be open because you don't have permission to see its content.

      Are you perhaps trying to access the Desktop folder of another account?

      I am having similar problems.  I granted lightroom and lightroom classic full disk access, yet I keep getting error message saying I don't have permission to open file.  I am running on MacBook Pro Sonoma 14.5.  What more needs to be done???

          Mojave may be asking you for 'permission' for LR to access your drive, a new security feature.

          If so, go into System preferences>Security & Privacy>Privacy tab. Click to make changes (as Admin), then click the Plus button to allow apps below to control your computer and select Lightroom and other applications that ask for this access. Done, you'll not be asked again.

          I installed the new version of Lightroom Classic CC, but when I tried to start Lightroom, I got permission issues.

          Why do you say you "got permission issues"? Provide details. What is the exact complete unedited word-for-word error message?
