Ejectify seems to fail working with non-admin accounts

[olidevelop]

With a standard account (macOS 13.1) Ejectify neither unmounts a volume on sleep nor mounts it again after wakeup (did unmount manually in Finder before).
Choosing "Unmount" from menu works, strange.

Since unmounting from the menu works fine, it's likely unrelated to privileges. Can you check this FAQ (specifically the Console part) to see if that gives any pointers on why Ejectify fails?

I did some more investigations:

• Ejectify works with standard account and unmount when "Screensaver started", but NOT with "System starts sleeping" (even with force unmount enabled)
• Ejectify works as expected with an admin account
• There are no "Dissenter status" messages in the log

It seems to me it's a standard account related issue.

OK, I'll look into this for Ejectify 2.0. I expect Ejectify needs to run with administrator rights. Would it be an issue to grant Ejectify those rights (initially)?

[olidevelop]

It would be an issue for me to work with an admin account, for security reason I'd prefer not to do. What do you mean with granting admin rights to Ejectify?

[nielsmouthaan]

Could you, as an administrator, grant Ejectify administration rights to a normal user? Obviously, this should only be done once, either when installing or running for the first time.

Sorry, I don't know how to do this.

OK, no worries. I'll test this out when I look into this when I start working on 2.0
