Allow permanent starting apps

Hey guys,


I have a MacBookPro 2020 with with macOS 12.1

I also use the program SPM for fMRT data analysis.

SPM consists of many different small programs and now I have to allow every single time the opening and starting process during the analysis. Thats really annoying! In older macOS versions there was the option in the security setting "allow everytime" (or something like this) but in the actual but also macOS 11version this option ist not available anymore. What can I do to allow every starting and opening process without typing in my password etc.?


cheers!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Is that app really compatible with Monterey? Check with the developer since you should not have that issue if the app is compatible with Monterey.


If those other small programs are independent of the main app, then you need to manually allow them an exception to Gatekeeper just like you did with the main program. Find the smaller app in the Finder, then Control-click the app and select "Open" from the pop-up contextual menu (still holding the Control key). Do this for each of the small programs. After this you should have no problems.
