Note another important difference between Apple’s apps and those built by third parties: when you add a third-party app to a privacy list, you have to quit the app and open it again for that change to take effect. Then close the pane, and click on Record again. Note that macOS has already added Automator to that list, but hasn’t ticked its checkbox to enable it. When you click on the Record button, you’ll be prompted to add Automator to the Accessibility list. The first step is to record a series of user actions, which will add an app to the Full Disk Access list in the Privacy tab. In Mojave, open the Automator app, and opt to create a new document. The best way to see it at work is, of course, to use it yourself. But it’s also a bit smarter than Full Disk Access, in that Apple’s apps can add an item, but not apparently enable it. The Accessibility list works like Full Disk Access: apps can’t declare their intent to be added to that list, as they can with Location, Calendar, or Camera, and it’s a list to which the user retains full access. Well, it’s all about Accessibility features, so shouldn’t affect so many Mac users, should it? No: there’s actually much more to it than that, and some users of automation tools such as Automator may get to use it quite a lot. In my otherwise fairly comprehensive coverage of the new Privacy tab in the Security & Privacy pane in Mojave, I have barely mentioned one class listed on the left: Accessibility.

Should you come across any with Ventura or an M2 Mac, in particular, please don’t hesitate to let me know, for example by adding a comment below.

SystHist version 1.16 should also correctly identify Ventura’s installations and updates, and is available from here: systhist116Īll three are also available from Downloads above, from their Product Page, and via their auto-update mechanism. LockRattler version 4.34 should correctly identify the last installation or update to Ventura, and is available from here: lockrattler434 This updated version is available from here: silentknight120 SilentKnight version 1.20 now recognises the correct version of the KEXT exclude list for Ventura, and should identify the two new M2 models when they start shipping. For those of us who live at the leading edge, I’ve updated these three apps.Īlthough these new versions shouldn’t change anything for those still using release versions of macOS, Intel or M1 Macs, they have been built with the latest version of Xcode, and are recommended for all users. Similarly, when you start using your new M2 MacBook Air or Pro, you might notice that SilentKnight didn’t recognise it. If you’ve installed the first developer beta of macOS Ventura, you may have noticed some issues with existing versions of my free utilities SilentKnight, LockRattler and SystHist. ![]()
