What is Gatekeeper?

Gatekeeper is a security feature of Apple’s macOS operating system. It enforces code signing and verifies downloaded applications before allowing them to run, thus reducing the chance of inadvertently executing malware. Gatekeeper builds on File Quarantine, introduced in Mac OS X Leopard and extended in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, i.e., has been available on Mac since version 10.7.

What is System Integrity Protection (SIP)?

System Integrity Protection (SIP, sometimes called rootless) is a security feature of Apple’s macOS operating system introduced in OS X El Capitan (OS X 10.11). It includes some mechanisms implemented by the kernel. One central is protecting system-owned files and directories against modification by processes without specific “rights”, even when executed by the root user or the authorized user root (sudo).

Apple says that the root user can be a significant risk factor to system security, especially on a single user account. That user is also an administrator. System Integrity Protection is enabled by default but can be disabled.

      Please make sure you have installed Creative Cloud before installing any Adobe app.

    Actually, Apple quietly changed the parameters to spctl. “–master-disable” and enable silently do nothing so people don’t notice the instructions no-longer work.

    Instead, you need to use –global-enable and –global-disable, and you need to re-execute them after certain updates.

    System Policy Basic Usage:
    spctl --assess [--type type] [-v] path ... # assessment
    spctl --add [--type type] [--path|--requirement|--anchor|--hash] spec ... # add rule(s)
    spctl [--enable|--disable|--remove] [--type type] [--path|--requirement|--anchor|--hash|--rule] spec # change rule(s)
    spctl --status | --global-enable | --global-disable # system global switch
