In the popup window, click the “Open Directory Utility” button and yet another window will open. In the “Directory Utility” window, click the lock at the bottom left again, and then enter your password (or use Touch ID). In the menu bar, open the “Edit” menu, and then click the “Enable Root User” command. On Mac OS X, Maya is installed as /Applications/Maya 2015/Maya.app. Since Mac OS X architecture makes it difficult to access the contents of the Maya application package, we strongly discourage the use of MAYALOCATION on Mac OS X.

You need to be able to find the system root directory in order to find the drivers that are actually in use, to find the system log files, and to find the debug crash dump files.

To locate the system root directory:

• Press and hold the Windows key, then press the letter ‘R’. (On Windows 7, you can also click start->run… to get the same dialog box.)
• Enter the word “cmd” in the program prompt, as shown, and press OK.
  

Mac Os Versions

• A command window should appear. Enter the command “set systemroot” at the prompt, and press enter, as shown below. The system will display the system root. (The first example is from Windows 2000, the second is from Windows 10; but the same procedure works for Windows XP through Windows 8.1, too.)
