CLI Permissions Settings

ed permissions settings

Open the System Settings destination for one permission without raising a prompt or relaunching Edith.

ed permissions settings <permission> [--json]

The permission id is completed from the same nine-value catalogue used by request. Bluetooth is granted when its feature first runs, but its privacy pane can still be opened here. Automation has no direct destination and exits 4 with its first-use explanation.

--json shape

{
  "opened": true,
  "permission": "screenRecording",
  "url": "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_ScreenCapture"
}

The command exits 0 only after macOS accepts the Settings URL. It does not need the Edith menu bar helper because opening a settings pane belongs to the local Mac where ed is running.

Examples

ed permissions settings calendar
ed permissions settings screenRecording --json
