Re: [Avid-L2] AMA needs admin rights?

 

This is likely MacOSX Gatekeeper weirdness going on under the hood.  You'll note some applications throw up a dialog box that needs to be clicked as "trusted" the first time it's launched.  A non-admin user would not have permission to decide this.   I know plug ins are not apps, but I would guess the installer needs to set permissions correctly to avoid the problems you are having on first use.  That would be the domain of the developer.  I would recommend you contact the plugin developer about the issue, as well as Avid, so they can work through the issue.

I'm supervising 40 Mac Media Composers (OS 10.9.4, MC 7.0.4) in a university. I made sure I ran up each system when logged in as administrator befroe letting the students loose (they have a regular, non-admin account) but I didn't check every single feature. I'm finding that some of the AMA plugins don't work when a non-admin user is working. If I log in as admin, the plug-in works as normal (had this with AVCD and regular QuickTime). Loging back in as a normal user and the plugins work - I'm sure I've never needed to check and test each and every plugin before (but we weren't on this OS or MC version last year). Anyone?
