Installer pop-up question - new on Big Sur

When I download my installer dmg file, & start the installation, I get a pop-up ".. would like access to files in your Downloads folder". I can select NO - dont allow - and my installer completes w/o errors. Is there a setting in my Info.plist that can say I do not need access? Or is there a way to trace what is going on? My install scripts access the temp install directory - but not downloads

I tried putting the dmg file on my desktop & same error.
Same error in that it wants access to my Desktop. But, apparently it doesnt need access.

$ cd /Volumes/mypackage
$ installer -pkg ./mypackage.pkg -target /Applications

Works. So it is something in "installer" when I double click on my install
