I gather this means that the user configuration prevented Octave from starting.

Closing report as invalid.

Can this bug report be closed?  Is there anything for us to fix?

I had the same problem with my MacBook Air. It is just a security mechanism of MacOS. Simply go to settings (the Apple gears)->, security and privacy_> general. next time open octave, and selected allow it to run. That should solve the problem.

This looks like a packaging issue.
Where did you get Octave from? It might make sense contacting the packagers.

The attached screenshot shows the error message. I cannot use any of the security features I know about in Big Sur to allow this app to open. Can you help?

I have v 4.4.1 which opens and works fine.
