I use a standard user account for my daily tasks on Mac OS. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I am asked to do the following when a program is run from within Xcode:

'Type the name and password of a user in the 'Developer Tools' group to allow Developer Tools Access to make changes'

To add the docked Form toolbar, follow these steps: Click Word select Preferences.; Open Ribbon.; In the Show or hide tabs, or drag them into the order you prefer: section, click to check the Developer box.

While I know the admin username/password, this is annoying (though only required once per login).

The developer tools access is asking for rights to 'system.privilege.taskport.debug' from application gdb-i386-apple-darwin.

What is the best way around this?

You need to add your OS X user name to the _developer group. See the posts in this thread for more information. The following command should do the trick:

Finally, I was able to get rid of it using DevToolsSecurity -enable on Terminal.Thanks to @joar_at_work!

FYI: I'm on Xcode 4.3, and pressed the disable button when it launched for the first time, don't ask why, just assume my dog made me do it :)

You should add yourself to the Developer Tools group. The general syntax for adding a user to a group in OS X is as follows:

I believe the name for the DevTools group is _developer.

Ned Deily's solution works perfectly fine, provided your user is allowed to sudo.

If he's not, you can su to an admin account, then use his dscl . append /Groups/_developer GroupMembership $user, where $user is the username.

However, I mistakenly thought it did not because I wrongly typed in the user's name in the command and it silently fails.

Therefore, after entering this command, you should proof-check it.This will check if $user is in $group, where the variables represent respectively the user name and the group name.

This command will either print the message user is not a member of the group or user is a member of the group.

Answer suggested by @Stacy Simpson:

We are struggling with the issue described in these threads and none of the resolutions seem to work:

As I'm new to SO, I cannot post in either thread. (The first one is actually closed and I disagree with the localization reasoning...)

Anyway, we created a work-around using AppleScript that folks may be interested in. The script below should be executed asynchronously prior to launching your automated test:

Here is the script:

Probably not very secure, but it's the best work-around we've come up with to allow tests to run without requiring user intervention.

I am on Snow Leopard and this one didn't quite work for me. But the following procedure worked:

  1. First added another account with admin privileges by ticking 'Allow user to administer this computer' under Accounts, for example an account with username test
  2. Logged into the test account
  3. Launched Xcode, compiled and ran my iPhone project. All ok, no errors were thrown related to permissions
  4. Logged out of the test account
  5. Logged in with the another account having admin privileges
  6. Took away the admin priviliges from the test account by removing the tick from 'Allow user to administer this computer' under Accounts
  7. Logged back into the test account
  8. Deleted the iPhone project directory and again checked out from the repository (in my case svn)
  9. Launched Xcode, compiled and ran the project. I didn't get any errors and the App ran well in the iPhone Simulator.

After you run:

per the answer above, you may still get prompted to enter in your own password:

We need authorization from an admin user to run the debugger.This will only happen once per login session.

What it really means is any _developer groupmember user so just your non-admin user/password will work here but to get rid of it completely (no prompts after a reboot) you'll also need to run:

(running it with sudo as an admin user/as root will make it so you can do it remotely without a gui password prompt)

For me, I found the suggestion in the following thread helped:

It suggested running the following command in the Terminal application:

Summary

One of the most convenient features of Microsoft Word is the ability to customize the tools that you work with. This article describes how you can customize and create toolbars and toolbar buttons. You can customize any toolbar by adding, deleting, moving, or grouping toolbar buttons to suit your needs.

Microsoft Word includes several built-in toolbars, including the two default toolbars that are visible when you start Word: the Standard toolbar and the Formatting toolbar. The Standard toolbar includes command buttons with which you can quickly access many of the frequently used commands, such as Save, Open, Copy, and Paste. The Formatting toolbar provides quick access to text-formatting commands, including Bold, Italic, Underline, Numbering, and Bullets.

To see a list of available toolbars, point to Toolbars on the View menu. The available toolbars appear on the Toolbars submenu. The toolbars that are currently visible in the Word window are selected (check marks appear next to them). To view and use a toolbar, you must select it on the Toolbars submenu. To select it (make it visible on the Word screen), click the toolbar name.

Note Creating and customizing menus in Word is similar to the way that you create and customize your toolbars.

How to add a button to an existing toolbar

To add a button to an existing toolbar, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Use the customize command on the toolbars submenu

  1. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Customize.

    Note You can also open the Customize dialog box by clicking Customize on the Tools menu.

  2. In the Customize dialog box, click the Commands tab. Under Categories, select the category from which you want to add a button. The Categories list displays categories of commands, organized by menu name or by type. The Built-in Menus category provides options for changing menus.

  3. Click a category to change the list of commands that appear in the Commands box, on the right side of the Customize dialog box.

  4. To add a button to a toolbar that is displayed, drag the button from the Commands box to the toolbar.

    For example, under Categories, click View. In the Commands box, click View Field Codes, and drag it to the Standard toolbar. Release the mouse button when you see a vertical bar indicating the position of the button.

Method 2: Use the 'More Buttons' button on the toolbar

  1. On the toolbar, click More Buttons, and then click Add or Remove Buttons.

    A submenu appears.

    Note The More Buttons toolbar button appears on most (not all) toolbars only when the toolbar is docked. To dock a toolbar, either double-click the title bar of the floating toolbar, or drag it to a docked position.

    For more information about how to dock a toolbar, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type move a toolbar in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.

  2. To add a button to the toolbar, select the check box next to the button that you want to add. To remove a button from the toolbar, click to clear the check box next to the button on the submenu.

    Note If you change the image and then decide that it is not what you want, you cannot revert to the original image. However, you can drag the button with the wrong image off the toolbar and add another image from the Customize dialog box (click the Commands tab).

To modify a button image, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
  2. When the Customize dialog box appears, right-click the button, and then click Edit Button Image.
