macOS Security Permissions

macOS Catalina (or newer) introduces per program security access settings, normally OS X will ask when the program tries to access something if it should be granted permission.

This security setting can also be set at a later date, click the Apple menu icon:

System Preferences >> Security & Privacy >> Privacy

And the two areas are 'Files and Folders' and 'Full Disk Access':
