The latter can be a very blunt tool, but at last in Catalina allows you to remove rights for specific lists and specified bundle identifiers. In those lists which let you disable an item by removing the tick from its checkbox, the item remains in the list, and there is no simple way to remove it except by deleting or uninstalling the app, or resetting that entry using tccutil. In 10.15.2, the + and – tools are displayed for the Files and Folders list, but are disabled it’s unclear whether Apple intends adding that later, or it’s just a bug. Once an app or other item has been added, lists provide checkboxes which you can use to disable individual access, but only those same three lists allow the user to remove individual items from the list.
The only way for apps to be added to other lists, including all the resources like Camera and Microphone, and the most complex of them all, Automation, is when an app requests access and TCC displays a consent dialog. Full Disk Access, hence indirectly to Files and Folders.macOS blocks applications and their developers from having direct access to those lists: only the user should control them, although as I’ll show below, that isn’t accurate.
ART OF ILLUSION UNINSTALL HOW TO
If you’re using Catalina (or Mojave, for that matter), it’s essential to know how to use the Privacy tab and its lists, as they (partly) determine what apps can access all your protected resources and data. It’s a friendly front end to the major sub-system in macOS named TCC (ironically standing for Transparency Consent and Control), which manages an internal database from which those lists are derived. Like much of what you see in the Finder and the rest of the GUI in macOS, controls in the Privacy tab of the Security & Privacy pane are an illusion.
