# How do I give SMA permission to Documents, Desktop, and Downloads folders?

There is a macOS system known scenario where the SMA crashes after trying an execution without `read` and `write` permission where the project is stored.&#x20;

Please consider these steps:

1. Check if the project is stored in one of the following locations:&#x20;

* Documents&#x20;
* Desktop
* Downloads&#x20;

If so, set the access from the macOS system:

1. On your Mac, choose `Apple menu` > `System Settings,` ​​then choose `Privacy & Security` in the sidebar
2. Select `Files and Folders` and allow the SMA access by enabling the folders accordingly to where the project is stored.
