Allow app to request authefication

1

I use ForkLift as default file manager. From time to time some files could be overwritten only with user permission. Finder asks password but Forklift just says that it is impossible.

enter image description here

Launching Forklift from terminal with sudo access does not help.

That doesn't run the app as sudo — see this: you need to run the binary as sudo.

You need to run the app binary as sudo for it to be run under sudo. Running the app package as sudo won't launch the app as sudo.

sudo /Applications/App.app/Contents/MacOS/App
