Apple not letting me download rescue

“Support-LogMeInRescue” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

I work at a software company, was trying to help someone via LogMeIn but they could not download the software and got the error above. I tried on my MacBook and got the same error. 

I have used it in the past and accepted all permissions. I saw online you may have to go in and give it full disk access, which I did. Same error. 

My Mac is on Sonoma 14.7.6 so old in an Apple sense but the agent I was assisting stated she had a new one. 

Wanted to see if there was a setting we need to change or a way around this. 

Thanks.

    The first time controlling a Mac you do need to grant permissions in the Security and Privacy settings, this support article details how: Remote control a Mac computer. In regard to the initial error message you may need to do the following:

    • Check Security and Privacy Settings
    • Launch “System Preferences” from the Apple menu.
    • Navigate to “Security & Privacy.”
    • In the “General” tab, ensure that the “App Store and identified developers” option is selected.
    • If necessary, click the lock icon to make changes and authenticate.   
    • Allow apps from the App Store and identified developers to be installed.
