Unable to install 1P beta on Mac

I just wanted to try the beta and downloaded the installer, unzipped and ran it. It starts downloading and then fails with "We weren't able to move 1Password to your Applications folder".
Of course this is not possible without asking for admin rights. Don't tell me that I have to run this as an administrator, this would be Windows-style but not for a Mac.

1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.15.7

    Hey pjm:

    Thanks for asking. We're investigating an issue where the 1Password 8 installer does not properly ask for administrator rights. I've added you to our issue tracking this. In the meantime, installing 1Password 8 using an administrator account would be your best bet.
