Has there been any progress on this issue??  I have uninstalled and reinstalled cleanly 3 times now and when you are converting from PC it will not allow you to grant permissions from the start.  As suggested in previous posts, I have been through an extensive deep dive with Apple IT support, and this is NOT a security issue with Apple.  On the QB PC version, you can revisit the initial authorizations at any time, this is not allowed on the MAC desktop version.  It appears that this simple software patch would be a fix all for this issue.  It seems that everyone here has went into the security preferences within MAC and went to the authorization tab and NOTHING IS THERE, because QB will not let us choose that option.  Is a patch possible?  Is anyone actually reading what your customers are saying?
