Rig changing user permissions on existing R library?

[jimjam-slam]

Hi there! I'm just giving rig a whirl and really enjoying it so far. However, after I installed it, I opened my existing R installation, and I could no longer install packages to my existing library at /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1-arm64/Resources/library due to a permission issue.

Checking that folder, all of the subfolders now belong to root:admin. If I re-open R with sudo, I can install packages again.

I definitely didn't need sudo to install packages before I installed rig - I just installed and updates packages yesterday. Is it possible that rig inadvertently changed the permissions on my library folder

Ah, I only just clocked this comment: https://github.com/r-lib/rig/issues/80#issuecomment-1144542156

Is there a warning message on installation of rig that you're changing the permissions of an existing library folder?

Yeah, a warning would be nice indeed when changing permissions of existing R versions. Or rig probably should not change the permissions of the other R versions at all.
