Bluestacks Mac System Extension Blocked

Bluestacks Not Launching Mac
<MyApp> would like to access files in your Desktop folder' and once user clicks OK, MyApp entry can be seen inBluestacks Mac System Extension Blocked How To

Dec 11, 2020 Fortunately, thanks to the team’s tireless efforts at providing the best possible service, the latest version of BlueStacks is fully compatible with MacOS 11 Big Sur, allowing you to, once again, install and play your favorite Android games on your Mac. BlueStacks on macOS 11 Big Sur: Update to Version 4.240.5. Hi, I have got this strange 'System Extension Blocked 'notification asking me to allow extension to load. This happened while system was stable, I didn't install any new software, driver or plug any new device to my macbook pro. I forgot to screenshot but I've found same notification example on.
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Files and Folders. The only entry I can see for MyApp is in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full Disk Access which is disabled by default. Once I manually enable this FDA (Full Disk Access) setting, MyApp starts working properly.Since I couldn't get much related info from Beta release notes, I would like to know whether there are major changes w.r.t. app access in Big Sur? Is FDA enable the only option for app access or can we have more granular control (i.e., allow access only to Desktop folder)?
Thanks
