  • 1.  Error: You don't have permission to use the application "Symantec QuickMenu"

    Posted Apr 16, 2013 03:25 PM

    Several Apple Users with Symantec are getting the following error:

    Error: You don't have permission to use the application "Symantec QuickMenu"
     

    I searched for a solution, and got this link:http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH156818

     
    Our Apple Engineer says the school is not using an Apple Server or Workgroup Manager.

    How to resolve this?

    What version(s) of OSX?

    What version of SEP for Macintosh?

    Are these managed by a SEPM?

    Do the users have Admin privileges in System Preferences>Accounts?

    If they are "managed" by a SEPM, there may be some restrictions enabled there.

    Michael,

    I will get these questions answered.

    I believe most of them are managed, but not all users are reporting this problem.

    Is there anything we should check in SEPM to ensure there are no restrictions?

    I'm still waiting to get this information.

     

    In the meantime, is there anything we should check in SEPM to ensure there are no restrictions?

    Quick menu should be per user. Is the same user who logged in to the box who is trying to access or do you use switch user ?
