Permissions Issue After Upgrade

[sullivnc]

I pulled a suite of VI's off of a Mac running LabVIEW 2013.  I copied the suite to a Windows 10 PC and to a newer Mac, both running LabVIEW 2020.  The transfered files worked fine on the PC, but I am having a permissions issue when I open any of the files on the Mac.  I made sure the file permissions in macOS were wide open.  Here is the error message I get for every file:

LabVIEW: (Hex 0x8) File permission error.  You do not have the correct permissions for the file.  You do not have permission to read the file 'Example.vi'.

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

I have to say this sounds  like a problem with the Mac OS and not a LabVIEW problem.

Just to be clear, you copied the files from the old Mac to the Windows 10 PC, and then you copied the files from the old Mac to the new Mac?  You didn't copy it to the Windows 10 PC and then copy it from the Windows 10 PC to the new Mac?

That's correct.  I only mention the Windows PC at all because if anything, I thought I'd have trouble going from Mac to Windows, not Mac to Mac.

Hmmm, sorry, I'm not a Mac-oriented person; I'm hoping that someone can make use of the information you have given us.

Problem solved.  Granted LabVIEW Full Disk Access.
