# Granting Full Disk Access

After installation, Veeam Agent requires permission to access folders and files on the Veeam Agent computer.

Depending on the macOS version, to grant full disk access to Veeam Agent, do the following.

*For Ventura, Sonoma, Sequoia and Tahoe*

1. In the upper-left corner of the screen, click the **Apple menu** > **System Settings**.
2. In **System Settings**, click **Privacy & Security**.
3. In the list of services, select **Full Disk Access**. 
4. In the list of apps, use the toggle switch next to **Veeam Agent for Mac** to enable full disk access.

   If the Veeam Agent for Mac is not in the list of applications, click the "plus" icon and add Veeam Agent for Mac to the list.

5. If prompted, provide the administrator password to allow editing the system settings.

*For Big Sur and Monterey*

1. In the upper-left corner of the screen, click the **Apple menu** > **System Preferences**.
2. In **System Preferences**, click **Security & Privacy** and select the **Privacy** tab.
3. If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon and enter the administrator password to allow editing the system preferences.
4. In the list of services, select **Full Disk Access**. 
5. In the list of apps, select the check box next to **Veeam Agent for Mac** to enable full disk access.

   If the Veeam Agent for Mac is not in the list of applications, click the "plus" icon and add Veeam Agent for Mac to the list.

Alternatively, you can grant full disk access to Veeam Agent with the [MDM solution](installation_and_configuration_mdm.md).
