I use my Mac as a Standard user. When I first set it up, all applications were downloaded/installed using the Admin user. Running latest OSX 10.10.3
When using my Mac as the Standard user, every time I go to run an application I get the following message:
With the options for "Cancel" and "Open". Of course I choose "Open" and everything works fine.
Now, I am used to this notice appearing the first time I try to run an app from the internet. My problem is that it appears every time.
Note that I am not asked for any Administrator credentials, and these apps have already been installed to the /Applications directory as an Administrator.
I have tried with a different Standard user and still have the same issue. I have also already used Disk Utility to repair the drive permissions, just in case.
This is not my first time using a Mac as a Standard user, and I don't remember this happening before. How can I make this notice appear only on the first run?
*Edit: OK, I found another "clue". If I install an application, while logged in as the Standard user, but authenticating as the Administrator, then it only warns me about the Application on the first run, and then never again, as long as I am still logged in as that Standard user.
But all the applications I installed while logged in as Administrator give me a pop up warning every time if I try to run them while logged in as a Standard user. There must be a way to fix this.
