Linked resource permission denied

I keep getting this pop-up when I open up a document in Publisher. I have to "Authorize Global" then click back through to the original file and re-link it to the document. The actual image has never been moved and is in the original folder with the Affinity Publisher document. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Short Goalie,

Could you please add Affinity Publisher to the "Full Disk Access" section of your mac's Privacy and Security section of your Mac's settings.

Is there a known rule in what situations or setups this option is required for Affinity apps – especially for files stored in a user's folder (like the 'desktop' in the OP's example)?

I never enabled it for Affinity apps but did not get any such issue yet, regardless of the Affinity apps / APub personas and various resource disks (volumes) on my local drive. To me it seems to required only by those apps that a.) literally ask me with a dialog window to activate it and b.) need this option to read system related files or files of all sorts of apps and owners (e.g. 'sudo'/'root' with Terminal, Tinker Tool System, Carbon Copy Cloner, FlyCut, FindAnyFile, …)

@Short Goalie, I assume you were logged in as the user "robwalker" when this message appeared?

Thanks for this. I've added in Publisher to Full Disc Access as you've suggested. Affinity Photo (which I have had no issues with) for some reason, was already in that list. So hopefully your suggestion will fix it. I'll see how I get on...

'Short Goalie' is my forum user name, not really anything to do with anything!

Thanks again.
