macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, and macOS Ventura (Beta 11 build onwards) require users' consent before applications can access certain services from their Macs. When iManage Work Desktop for Mac is deployed on these operating systems, users need to provide permissions for the following actions:

• Uninstalling the application.

  NOTE:

  From 10.2.4 onwards, users are not prompted for approval to run the installer. This applies to macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, and macOS Ventura (Beta 11 build onwards) for new installations as well as upgrades to 10.2.4 and later versions.

• Accessing the Services menu options in integrated Microsoft and iWork suite applications, Microsoft Outlook and Apple Mail, Finder, and Preview app.

• Sending links, documents, or both from iManage Work.

• Printing emails from iManage Work.

The following example explains the flow of events that occur when a user gives or denies permission to the application.

1. The user is working with Microsoft Excel and selects Services > Save As New Version Workbook. The following system message is displayed:
   Figure: System message asking for permission for the application
   

   NOTE:

   This message is displayed only once for each integrated application or action mentioned previously in this section.

2. The following scenarios are possible based on what the user selects in step 1:
   

   1. OK: Permission is successfully given to Microsoft Excel to access the System Events resource, which is required for the iManage Work Desktop for Mac integration with Excel.

   2. Don't Allow: iManage Work Desktop for Mac displays the following dialog box (for the current and all following instances until the user gives the required permissions):
      Figure: User consent notification
      

      

3. The following scenarios are possible based on what the user selects in Step 2:

   1. Open System Preferences: The user can navigate to the check box as instructed, select it to grant the required permission, and perform the action again.
      

   2. Cancel: iManage Work Desktop for Mac displays another dialog box (for the current and all subsequent instances until the user gives the required permissions) with details about how to give the permission manually:
      Figure: User consent alert
      
      
      The user can select Close and then navigate to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab, and select the System Events check box under Microsoft Excel.

The user can now save the workbook by selecting Services > Save As New Version Workbook.
