You could try using the Finder's Get Info window to set the permissions so that anyone can write, but I have found this unreliable and prefer to use the Terminal. Open the Terminal, cd to the folder containing your app and then use the following command:A *very* bad idea for security reasons. If anyone can write to the app, they could replace it with an arbitrary program, including one which could damage the system (delete files, etc.), while leaving the icon, etc. intact. Some unsuspecting user with more privileges than them could then run the program, which has been replaced with nasty code, damaging the system, their files, etc.
chmod -R 777 YourAppName.app/
This will make every file in your application bundle readable & writable by everyone. You may prefer to make sure the limited user is in the same group as the owner and change the permissions to 775 instead.
Another issue here is that being able to write to the apps means allowing some as-yet-unwritten virus to infect them. If a user can't write to them. then neither can a virus running under their account...
In a slightly less hostile sense, being able to write to the app means being able to ruin it unintentionally as well.
