New Folder Needs Password

  • Subject: New Folder Needs Password

Finally. Found a work-around ...

tell application "System Events" to set userName to (name of current user) as text
tell application "Finder"
set owner of diskAlias to userName
set owner privileges of diskAlias to read write
--
--
--
--
set newFolderAlias to (make new folder at diskAlias with properties {name: newName, comment:""}) as alias

The folder is now created without the need for an admin password.

But, why do I need to explicitly set the owner and owner's privileges when the disk is created correctly with these privileges? I'm still confused.
