In Keychain Access I would like to add Xcode to my the list of applications allowed to access a password.

I opened KeyChain Access on category Passwords, double-clicked the password I want to have the Access Control changed, switched to that tab and added Xcode in the list.

When I hit Save Changes, a modal window appears stating 

Keychain access wants to change access permissions of the "the.key.com" item in your keychain

I have to enter my Keychain password, then hit one of three buttons: allow, deny or allways allow.

When clicking allow or allways allow nothing happens. The only option to dismiss the modal window is to click deny.

Same behaviour when I open a project using the password in Xcode. I get the same dialog with the same issue.

I did try the usual tricks like restarting, changing password, fixing permissions with DiskUtil and also searched a little bit, but the only thing I found does not fit to my issue as Xcode is not running.

Update: The complete login Keychain is affected, I can not make changes to any password

Are you using VPN or any sort of software that's simulating mouse movements? See here:

Sorry if you have gone through some of these steps.

  1. Attempt to repair the keychain.
  2. If you're willing create and new keychain
  3. Delete the keychain preferences folder in the Library and see if that helps.

The issue was introduced by OSX Server and the user _xcsbuildd and the related user folder setup that can not be handled by Keychain. File access rights are so messed up that I will reinstall OSX.

Edit: Reinstall probably was unnessecary. Although some access rights can no longer be altered in Keychain Access, there are fields for these in Xcode preferences and in some hidden options in OSX Server.
