| Permission | Controlled by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Home Folder Access | diCleaner folder picker in the App Store edition | Gives supported tools a saved accessible root inside the user account |
| Selected folder or disk | macOS folder picker | Allows a user-chosen scan location |
| Full Disk Access | System Settings → Privacy & Security | Allows supported protected local locations |
| Photos access | System Settings privacy controls | Allows supported photo-library information |
| Apple media access | macOS privacy prompt | Allows supported local media information |
| Administrator authorization | macOS system dialog | Approves one protected action under system rules |
Permissions are independent. Full Disk Access does not select an external disk, and folder authorization does not automatically grant protected system access.
Grant the narrowest access that supports your task, then start a new scan.
