Mac disk permission keeps your files safe and secure. Permissions
are file settings that decide which user and system can access that file and
what they can do with it. Thus, a certain program cannot affect any other
system file and modify them without asking for permission. The files and
folders that your Mac has, comes with a particular set of permission, but these
permissions sometimes get messed up because of installing and uninstalling of
other apps. This is when the user needs to repair them otherwise they will face
various issues with their system like lagging, freezing and crashing.
