Get Permission to run a program

[G4PPC]

How can I get permission to run a program that Big Sur won't let me run?

When I go to get info I set it to allow Read and Write Access and also tried Read only neither one works, I tried disabling Gatekeeper and I turned of System Integrity and it still won't let me open the program, then I enable the root user but when I log out and login to it, it logs me in as a new user and none of my user files are accessible.

How can I override my lack of privileges in Big Sur?

You are trying to open a program from Terminal?
You might have to give Full Disk Access to Terminal.
"Controlling app access to files in macOS" https://support.apple.com/guide/security/controlling-app-access-to-files-secddd1d86a6/web
For other situations, you can try, if you are not already, make you the owner of the program

Thanks for the info, I tried most of that except giving the terminal full disk access as that could be the problem.

But I did find a solution though I just had to open the Terminal then type in

chmod +x then drag the app into the Terminal window and press enter then after that I could run the App that I didn't have privileges for.

In the terminal it should look like this

chmod +x /Users/Downloads/GateKeeper_Helper.command

And after that it won't complain about you not having the privileges to run it anymore.
