1) What were you trying to do?
I wanted to use the "convert" command from ImageMagick to convert a PDF to .png from the terminal (e.g. "convert -density 150 input.pdf -quality 90 output.png").
2) What happened?
The following error message:
"convert.im6: not authorized `input.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/454."
3) What should have happened?
There should not have been a problem with permissions. The following link leads to a StackOverflow post that describes the cause of such permissions problems, and how to fix them. It is not something that one can do from their personal Athena account.

4) Does this problem happen only on this workstation, or other workstations?
All (Linux) workstations.
