Thanks for reporting this @sjackman and I'm sorry you're unable to run Data Curator.

Signing the app is planned but not currently implemented.

Without Admin access to your Mac, I don't think you can run the app.

@mattRedBox any suggestions?

[sjackman]

I can try DataCurator out at home on my laptop; I just can't use it at work. Glad to hear that signing the app is on your plan.
