Fusion 13.5 on macOS Sonoma M1Max

From time to time I get a pop-up saying "VMware Fusion 13.app would like to access data from other apps."  (see attached). It seems to happen some time after I start-up a VM, but I haven't figured out what, specifically, triggers it.  Does anyone know what "other apps" it needs to access?  "Allow" or "Don't Allow" don't seem to have any apparent affect.  Even after clicking "allow", it still eventually comes back.  Could this be related to the background item that's added every time Fusion is started?
