Downloaded BIONC on my MacAir running 10.10.5.

However when I try to boot BIONC, I get the error:
You currently are not authorized to manage the client
To run BIONC as this user, please:
- reinstall BIONC answering 'Yes' to the question about non-admin users
or
- contact your administrator to add you to the 'boinc _master' user group

I did reinstall and selected yes. And I have Admin status on my laptop, but still doesn't run. Suggestions?

The program's name is BOINC, it stands for Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

With that in mind, check http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Tools_for_Mac_OS_X#Selecting_which_users_may_run_BOINC_Manager for how to add (non-administrative) users to the group that can use BOINC Manager (the Graphical User Interface) to manage the BOINC client.
