Part 2: What Is Full Disk Access in Mojave

The Full Disk Access feature in macOS Mojave is much like a security check at an airport. When you grant "Full Disk Access" to an app it is added to the white-list of applications that are now marked as safe to work with your data. At the same time, all other applications will be greeted with "You Are Not Allowed To Access." The protected areas that require Full Disk Access permission are your Mail, Messages, Safari, Home, Time Machine, and particularly iTunes backup, which is the whole reason that caused the incompatible issue with our MiniCreo products.

According to Apple: "So if your app attempts to access any data that is part of one of the protected categories the system will automatically terminate it." And by "terminate" Apple really means a forced crash.
