macOS 10.15 System Preference Panes

Below are a list of System Preference pane URLs and paths that can be accessed with scripting to assist users with enabling macOS security settings without having to walk them through launching System Preferences, finding panes, and scrolling to settings. Not all panes have an accessible anchor and some are OS specific.

To find the Pane ID of a specific pane, open the System Preferences app and select the desired Preference Pane. With the pane selected, open the ScriptEditor.app and run the following script to copy the current Pane ID to your clipboard and display any available anchors:

tell application "System Preferences"
	set CurrentPane to the id of the current pane
	set the clipboard to CurrentPane

	# While having issues with to_partial_path on a view model giving inconsistent results under differing name spaces of controllers
	# I use the below to see that the look up path and view paths were on an controller and modify.
	# I've never put the below into production. This is merely something I found while experimenting.
	# To sort my issue I used the prefixes avaialable and changed name spacing to give correct behaviour

	class SomeController < ApplicationController

	# Prepending (or appending) the view path allows you to add the location of view files

	before_filter :prepend_view_paths
