Hi all,

Have an issue whereby updated Macs have started to complain about being unable to access bits of software, with pop ups which are constant, rendering the devices more of a pain than a delight to use sadly.

Updated from Monterry and am now on Ventura 13.3.1. Was working fine under Monterry.

Devices are used in an educational environment, and we've had to whitelist allowed applications only (such as Chrome, Logic Pro etc) to control kids meddling.

Pop ups keep appearing for the following:

You don't have permission to use the application "PasswordBreachAgent".

You don't have permission to use the application "SafariLaunchAgent".

Have tried various paths to whitelist, but with no joy.

Any help gratefully received.

Many thanks,

James.

You probably need to repair permissions on your startup disk. You can do this with Disk Utility, located in:

/System/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app

I suggest booting into Safe Mode before performing the repair. Launch Disk Utility and select the system drive (probably “Macintosh HD”). Click on Run and it will probably warn you that the Mac could be unresponsive—or something to that effect. Proceed, restart, and then check if the warnings have gone away.
