Unable to save file without password prompt - Sublime Text 3

#1

I’m having an issue all of sudden where I am being prompted on save for the password whilst in Sublime Text 3. I am working locally with Mamp Pro. The prompt message I get on save is:

Sublime Text.app wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.

If I don’t enter the password I get this:

Unable to save ~/Sites/mywebsite/templates/fl_sidebar/index.php
Error: administrator_copy_file(/tmp/.sublba2.tmp,
/Users/myusername/Sites/mywebsite/templates/fl_sidebar/index.php)
failed: AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges failed: ffff159a

I’ve never encountered this error before at all when using Sublime Text so I don’t know how to fix it.
I stopped running MAMP, checked all permissions on the folder by Get Info, which stated I have read & write privilege. I restarted the Mac and opened up my local development again in sublime, made a change and was instantly asked for the password again.

I’m on OSX El Capitan Version 10.11.2 - Sublime Text 3 stable 3083

Thanks for any help
