Terminal command to change permissions needed

montylee · Nov 18, 2015

I would like the terminal command to change the permissions for Admin to Read/Write on the Utilities folder. Apple has restricted admin access using Get Info with El Capitan. Other than logging in as root, I'd like to know of a sudo chmod command for Terminal so I don't have to keep entering my password every time I make changes!

Thanks.

You can't change the Utilities folder as long as System Integrity Protection is active. Instructions for disabling it are here: https://developer.apple.com/library...n.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40016462-CH5-SW1.

You can change permissions with the chmod command and file ownership with the chown command. You can find a bit more information about those here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/permissions.html.

Is there a particular reason why you want to use the Utilities folder?
