It would appear then that the helperinstaller is associated with MuseScore and should be allowed.


Also, check System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy > Files and Folders. If MuseScore is not already listed there, add MuseScore and select "Documents" and "Downloads" folders to give MuseScore permission to access those folders. Alternatively, you could give MuseScore full disk access.

Hey there omits,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, did this message pop up while trying to install an app or some other software on your Mac? If so, then it would be okay to go ahead and grant permission. However, if you did not start to install an app, we would recommend not granting permissions to the process.

We hope that's able to help.


Take care!
