How to correctly install on OS X
I would like to install Fantasy Grounds Unity on my Mac computer (MacOS Sonoma version 14.1.2)
The computer has one admin account and several standard accounts for users.
I have tried several ways of installing but Fantasy Grounds will only function fully in the admin account and not the standard accounts.
For security reasons this is unacceptable.
If someone could tell me what I’m doing wrong and how to correctly install I would greatly appreciate it .
Admin vs Standard Account...

I left the application in the Applications folder, but moved the data folder to Dropbox. When you launch FG if you hit settings and then advanced you can specify the address path for both the main app and the data folder. I changed the data folder one to point to the appropriate folder in dropbox and everything works fine. Presumably this setup would work with multiple users and non-administrator ones as well - provided they all have read and write access to the data folder, or it may start asking for administrators passwords. However I have never tested that.
I would be curious if you could confirm that this would work with a standard user as well as the admin user.
If it’s not too much trouble, it’s easy to create a throwaway standard user account to sign into and test. Although I don’t know how hard it would be setting up the dropbox in this standard users account… might make it more trouble than worth.
I am security conscious and never use the admin account for any real work. it’s just there for admin stuff. All my email and everything else is assigned to the standard account where I do my work. Which is probably where the problems started since I suspect most people just have the one account as admin and use it for everything. Yes, I’ve been, probably correctly, called paranoid.:)
