Can't Create Directory

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to create a directory if it doesn’t exist:

public void Save ()
{
	path = Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/Settings";
	if (!Directory.Exists(path))
		Directory.CreateDirectory(path);

    string finalPath = path + "/Camera_Settings.json";

	string newSettings = JsonUtility.ToJson(cameraSettings);
	File.WriteAllText(finalPath, newSettings);
	Debug.Log("Saved!");
}

But I’m getting this error:

UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘C:/Users/Igor/Desktop/MGS/Work/Projetos Unity 3D/Don’t Die/Assets/StreamingAssets/Settings/Camera_Settings.json’ is denied.

Is there any way to work around that? Please, answer as fast as possible. Thanks in advance.

You can put your project in a folder that does not require admin rights. In many cases that’s anything other than the system drive. Or you can run Unity as admin.
