Click Always Allow to grant permanent access and prevent the notification from appearing again. For more information about the keychain utility, search “Allow apps to access your keychain” on the Apple support site.

• In macOS High Sierra (10.13) and later, Apple introduced security and privacy settings that affect SMART Notebook and related software.
