Apps must be granted permission to access certain files or application data on macOS 10.14 and above. To prevent the user from having to respond to prompts from applications asking for access to the camera, photos, microphone, or other areas, you can create Privacy Preferences policies to allow or deny access by the app. Click the Add Policy button to create a new policy.
