Hello everyone,
After installing Xrite color checker & DNG profiler I was unable to locate the plugin so logged out of LR thinking it may need to restart to see said plugins. When relaunching LR I got: "lightroom does not have write permission to some standard user folders", see screen shots.
So far I have done the following:
Created another user login with admin permissions, LR works fine.
None of the following has changed anything:
Rebooted in safe mode
Rebooted in PRAM mode, not sure of correct terminology here 🙂 ... opt+command+P+R
Moved Xrite Color Checker & DNG Profiler to the trash (they were actually apps, not plugins)
Trashed BashScriptDebug.txt file
Given LR & PS permissions in Security & Privacy. As you can see from the screenshot I have no option for files & folders in security & privacy.
Same problem when opening old LR version
Ripped my hair out & googled until my fingers bled.
I found on this forum a thread where someone said they manually changed permissions by running a script, but didnt give any indication of what or how. sadly I know zippo about scripts.
All updates are current.
Looking forward to your replies, many many thanks in advance.

Try the followingopen up terminal.app (type terminal in the looking glass top right in the menubar)
type (just copy and paste):
diskutil resetUserPermissions / `id -u`
This will take a while and will reset the permissions in your home folder. Might fix your problem.

For those still having this issue in 2023, I just fixed it very quickly with using a script to restore permissions. That information can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-basic-troubleshooting-fix-most-issues.html#Tr...
