If you know that the first user to run the preference pane will be in
the admin group (you could even make that a requirement of the
software) then you can just change the permissions on that particular
file the first time it is written to be 777. Take a look at
NSFileManager documentation for more on how to do this.
Hope that helps,
Jeff.

Hi developers,
I've a problem that bugs me for a while now.
1) a preferences pane in /Library/PreferencePanes, this is for
administrators and creates a data file in /Library/Application Support
2) the rights are rwxrwxr-x for /Library and for /Library/Application
Support
3) I now use the preferences pane as administrator and the data get
saved as for example mypref.data (NSArchiver is used here)
4) If I now log in as a normal user and use the prefs pane I see my
save data
5) Now I change some settings and want to overwrite the existing data
but this will fail, since a normal user has no write access
to the directories mentioned above. But even with authentication
services (which rights shall I obtain?) and an admin user name
password the NSArchive operation failed. What am I doing wrong
here?
Thanks for your help and ideas.
