I have an issue whereby my iMac will not allow any app Full Disk Access. If I drag and drop or use the + button to select the app the box still remains blank. I need to allow Backblaze Full Disk Access otherwise I can't back up my files. Blackblaze say I need to be an admin to do this but I am as it's my iMac and I'm the only user with the only account. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks :)
Boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and and try there to add apps to that preference pane. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.

Open the Users & Groups system preferences. Select your Account.
Is the checkbox selected saying you are allowed to administrate the computer?
Can you unlock the padlock?
but oddly it's greyed out. I hope this means I am the only admin?
I'm not sure if that is new or not. It is a good change if it didn't happen before.
There are ways you can lose your admin privileges, like changing the short user name incorrectly, so just wanted to check. Old Toad's suggestion would have been my next, also.
Thanks for your reply :)
