dscl . -list /Users UniqueID | egrep -v ‘_|root|nobody|daemon’
This above command did not work. Not sure why.
-bash: root: command not found
-bash: nobody: command not found
-bash: daemon’: command not found
So I used this command instead: dscl . list /Users | grep -v ‘_’ (and, just in case, also this command: dscl . -list /Users | egrep -v ‘_’)
For either the above alternative commands, here are the results
(Note: except from here on I substituted “username” for my actual username.)
com.malwarebytes.mbam.nobody
daemon
nobody
root
username
Interesting that even though I did un-install Malwarebytes, I see at least evidence of it. Not sure if/how to get rid of it.
At first did not understand that the change directory command needed a follow up “ls -al” command. But I think I catch the drift:
cd /Users/username/Library/Application\ Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default
ls -al

Thanks for the link to the upgraded BBedit. I did at least use it to open and explore my exported bookmarks folder.
You asked if Apple Support ran thru a process like Recovery mode. Yes. However, this was in Sept and although I recall using the utilities with phone support, the other guidance on that link does not look familiar.
Lastly, I have attached a screenshot of a typical “get info” window, just in case you wish to see one bit of evidence of my permissions issue (the extra “everyone/custom” that can be found pervasively in files existing when the Terminal command issued).
