Apps are crashing, saying I do not have permission to use them 2020

On several of my apps-- all of the MS Office apps plus others-- I click on the icon to open, nothing happens for up to a minute, then I get a notification: "You do not have permission to open the application “Microsoft Excel”.


I also get a full crash report."



What is going on and how do I fix it?

What is the macOS version you are using?


Test whether software in your user account is causing the issue, set up a new user account(admin), then log in to it and try to reproduce the issue in that account.


This should help to isolate the issue.
