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 ten-value catalogue used by request. Application Audio and Bluetooth are granted when their features first run, but their privacy panes 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
ed permissions settings applicationAudio
