title: OS X Application Authorization
body: <p>I'm looking forward to have an update on the following topic as it does not compile when using Xcode 4.1 and higher (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/navigation/#section=Topics&amp;topic=Security) and more particularly on Application Authorization (such as hilighted in BetterAuthorizationSample).</p>
  
  <p>The idea I have is to write a simple application to access some plist fils in protected areas of the OS X filesystem (the way macpilot does) to tweak Time Machine.</p>
  
  <p>The application I've written has to access one file in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/</p>
  
  <p>The above example introduces a way to give an application access rights for a given time. In my case I need write permission for a file and I should be prompted by the OS to enter my administrator name and password to apply changes to the right file.</p>
