Unnecessary requests for Authorization

[Richard_D_Jones]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

Having loaded Office 2008, I have had a succession of (mostly Entourage) problems over the last week.
The Entourage forum suggested I create a new identity and move essential stuff across, leaving old stuff behind to access as and when required.

So far, so good, it is all working

BUT: I cannot access my folders or files, or put documents into folders etc. without being denied, and asked for authorization.

OK, I am the administrator, and know the password, but what a pain!

Please –– how can I remove this unnecessary restriction from all these folders?

Hi Richard:

You would be better to take this question back to the Entourage forum,
because I am not quite sure which they told you to do:

* If you created a new Entourage identity, then you need to make that
identity the default in Entourage.

* If you created a new Mac OS X Login, then you need to log in in that
Identity and stay in it Move all of your files over to the new Login,
then delete the old one.

Hope this helps
