Forward Engineering Schema Error

[Alan Hodgson]

First time User. Single User on my own Mac trying to creaate a database that I can do queries on. Created my schema model and trying to Export/Forward Engineer it to create the database. I get through the Forward Engineering screens,. The generated SQL Create statements look good but when I click Finish I get the following error.

Error

Could not save to file ‘AlanHodgson_VVModelSchema.sql': Failed to create file ‘AlanHodgson_VVModelSchema.sql.IFNXHZ': Permission denied

I seem to have a local server on my machine, I am using the local ‘root’ connection. What do I need to do the fix the error?
