Word Cannot Open the Document: Access Privileges Mac

If you're prompted to provide a password when trying to open a document on your Mac, it may be due to access privileges that have been set. In this case, you'll need to remove the protection from the document in order to access it.

To do so, follow these steps:

* If you are an authenticated owner of the document or know the password for removing document protection, click on 'Stop Protection' in the Restrict Editing task pane.

* On the Review tab, click on 'Restrict Editing' in the Protect group.

* If prompted to provide a password, type it in.

Note that encrypting a document prevents others from working on it at the same time. However, there are ways to manage full disk access for SSH connections using a configuration profile.

Managing Full Disk Access for SSH Connections

For those who need to access protected data on remote Macs running macOS Big Sur, Apple's user-level privacy controls apply when connecting via SSH. This means you can access data in the home folder of the account you're using to connect, but you cannot access or alter protected data in other accounts' home folders.

To manage full disk access for SSH connections, a configuration profile can be used. The profile allows remote users to have full disk access and enables the 'Allow full disk access for remote users' checkbox in the Remote Login settings in System Preference's Sharing preference pane.

Deploying the Profile

In order to deploy this profile, there are some pre-requisites that must be met:

* The profile must be installed by an MDM (Mobile Device Management) server.

* User Approved Mobile Device Management (UAMDM) must be enabled on the target Mac.

For more information on deploying this profile and setting up PPPC settings to allow full disk access, please see below for further details.

By following these steps and using a configuration profile, you can manage full disk access for SSH connections and gain access to protected data on remote Macs.
