MacOS – Revert or reset permissions of extensions

I accidentally approved the request of Weather extension to access my location info on macOS 10.14.6. I want to revert or reset this. How can I do that? Is there a way other than reinstalling macOS?

MacOS – El Capitan folder permissions to make admin accounts read-only

No. Admin accounts can modify any ACL or permission you make to keep them out.

Admin = root on OS X

I would consider placing the files on a file server and control access over file sharing (where your account is the only admin) or remove admin permissions from the accounts that cannot be trusted to not be malicious or careless.

MacOS – Missing Notification Center Widgets & Share Extensions

Apple has a knowledge base article for this bug occasionally affecting macOS Yosemite, El Capitan, and now Sierra. This happens most often after installing an OS update.

To reregister all Notification Center widgets and Share Extensions, start a Terminal session, and enter the following:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed

(Triple-click the above line and press ⌘ cmdc to copy, then ⌘ cmdv inside Terminal.)
