Description

This article provides steps to identify the application or process name that requires Full Disk Access. We can locate the Application or Process name within System Preferences > Security & Privacy, as long as the computer has the Application we wish to grant full disk access to installed.

Identifying Which Application Requires Full Disk Access

Prerequisite: Computer must have the Application installed.

  1. Open System Settings.

  2. Navigate to the Privacy & Security pane.

  3. Scroll down and click on the Full Disk Access section.

  4. Right-click on the App/Process name and click Show in Finder. Tip: If the App/Process name is not present, click the + symbol to manually add the application.

  5. The file will open in a external Finder window.

  6. Launch Terminal and execute the following command:

    /usr/bin/codesign --display --requirements - <drag Application into Terminal to populate file path> Example: /usr/bin/codesign --display --requirements - /opt/cisco/secureclient/bin/vpndownloader.app

    Locate the required values from the Terminal output.
