My script is supposed to run once every 3 minutes day and night so responding to separate prompts wouldn't cut it. I wanted to delete a file in Excel using VBA's Kill syntax and got the permission prompt when the VBA attempted to execute the command. 'Create an array with file paths for which permissions are neededįilePermissionCandidates = Array("/Users//Desktop/test1.txt", "/Users//Desktop/test2.txt")įileAccessGranted = GrantAccessToMultipleFiles(filePermissionCandidates) 'returns true if access granted, false otherwise Note: Once granted, the permissions are stored with the app and user need not grant permission to the file anymore. False - The user denies permission to the files.True - The user grants permission to the files.fileArray - An array of POSIX file paths.This lets you input an array of file paths and prompt the user for permission to access them.īoolean GrantAccessToMultipleFiles(fileArray) This command lets your app get permission for all the files at one time, thereby avoiding a difficult user experience.
This means that macros that access external files cannot run unattended they will require user interaction to approve file access the first time each file is referenced.ĭevelopers should use the GrantAccessToMultipleFiles command (see following section) to avoid this experience. The Office 2016 for Mac apps are sandboxed and hence they lack the required permissions to access external files.Įxisting macro file commands are changed to prompt the user for file access if the app doesn’t already have access to it. Unlike VB Macros in Office for Mac 2011, VB Macros in Office 2016 for Mac do not have access to external files by default.
