    @ksrj308  You can reach the same setting through System Preferences.  Try to open Origin again (so that it's blocked again), then click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of your screen and select System Preferences, then Security & Privacy.  In the General category, you'll see a notice that Origin was blocked.  Click the lock in the lower left corner of the window, input your password, and click to allow anyway.

    Just a note: you'll need to be using an admin account on your Mac for this to work.
