Changing plug-in file permissions (macOS)

Managing plug-ins > Enabling the FileMaker Script Engine to use plug-ins > Changing plug-in file permissions (macOS)

Note The following information is for server administrators.

1. Start the Terminal application and use the cd command to set your path as needed.

2. Enter the following at the command line:

chmod g+rx <filepath>

chmod g+wrx <filepath>

The g+rx is necessary because plug-ins and system-level scripts must have the group read and executable bits enabled. Use the g+wrx form to permit write permission as well. Some plug-ins or scripts that use preferences or folders of additional files may require write permission to those files or folders.
