## Mac Agent Permissions

Because Mac has no automated access to permissions you must grant all permissions manually after agent install (you might need to attempt a mesh connection once after install to get mesh to appear in the security settings)
Step 1: Open System Preferences
Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen.
Select System Preferences from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Navigate to Security & Privacy
In the System Preferences window, click on Security & Privacy.
At the top of the Security & Privacy window, click the Privacy tab.

Step 3: Grant Accessibility Permissions
In the list on the left, scroll down and select Accessibility.
If the padlock in the bottom-left corner is locked, click it and enter your password to make changes.
Click the plus (+) button under the list on the right side.
Navigate to and select Meshcentral in the /usr/local/mesh_services/meshagent/ folder.
