`transmission-daemon`'s packaging has many permissions disabled as a standard safety measure. If your script needs more permissions than are provided by the default, users have [reported](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/1951) that it can be resolved by changing to `NoNewPrivileges=false` in `/lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service`. `transmission-daemon`'s packaging has many permissions disabled as a standard safety measure. If your script needs more permissions than are provided by the default, users have [reported](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/1951) that it can be resolved by changing to `NoNewPrivileges=false` using a systemd unit override.
```
$ sudo systemctl edit transmission-daemon.service
```
and add the following content to the override:
```
[Service]
NoNewPrivileges=false
```
and that override will be kept untouched by package upgrades.
