Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Running 11.2, Mac Mini M1
Each time I reboot, all my security and privacy are gone; accessibility, full disk access, etc.
However, if I force shutdown the machine, when it boots up all is good.
I am truly puzzled...
Mac mini, macOS 11.3
Log into another vanilla admin user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac, and see if the problem persists. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).
If it goes away in the other account return to your current account and boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and check again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

This seemed to have done the trick. Thank you so much for the help!
Booted into SAFE MODE and since then, reboots are free of security permission issues.
However, I did forget to mention another odd thing.
Whenever I try to shut down the M1 Mini, it always reboots. Every time!
UPDATE: it is still doing that AFTER booting into SAFE MODE
Off topic I know but your Profile is showing Mac mini, macOS 11.3 If not mistaken 11.3 is Only in Beta 5 as of this writing.
you saw that, eh? clever you...
this is true. but its been happening since I updated to 11.2, and I did not want to muddy the waters with my risqué installations.
Hate to be picky - but discussions on these Open Forums regarding Beta - is a no no.
Fair enough, but I did not discuss the beta. You did.
The was not related to the beta, hence why I did not mention it, at all.
Hate to be picky.
To be fair and balanced - your profile says one thing and discussion is on another. As for discussion on said topic - none was made only pointing out the facts.
