Why are Word and Excel now telling me that I no longer have permission to open them?

Word and Excel say that I no longer have permission to open them. This may have started when I recently installed Big Sur.


I saw where it might have something to do with a profile?


Any help would be appreciated \..


Thanks.

Thanks for your response.


I went into each app via Get Info, then changed permissions - now they seem to be working.
