Hard to say without knowing what the program does. It may need to run with
elevated privileges (in which case you probably don't want normal users
running it anyhow), it may try to modify files owned by other users (again,
if this is the case, it's likely to be a Good Thing that it doesn't work), or
there could just be some incorrect ownership/permission settings somewhere.
Also, what error do you get when you try to run it?

That command probably wouldn't break your system, but you really don't want
to use it. Life is much more pleasant when the OS doesn't think that all of
your data files are executable.
