# Error “operation not permitted” macOS

Since macOS 10.14, Apple has introduced a new privacy flow. The user is now asked for permission when an app requires access to certain features or functions. 

#### The user will need to explicitly grant "Full Disk Access" to the eazyBackup application by doing the following:

1. Open the System Preferences (Apple menu)
2. Select "Security and Privacy" > "Privacy" tab
3. Select "Full Disk Access"
4. Add eazyBackup
