[Mac] Solution for 'You do not have permission to open document xxx'

Memo on the solution when the error message “You do not have permission to open document xxx” is displayed on Mac.

If it’s just one file, you can change the settings from Finder, but when there are a huge number of files, it’s tough.

In such cases, you can batch change access permissions with the chmod command.

% chmod -R 777 ~/SomeFolder
