Originally I created two separate scripts to accommodate the manual modification of these systems.

This Feature Requires Universal Access Turned On From System Preferences Install It OnSizeUp uses OS Xs GUI scripting control features to work its magic, and it requires you to enable access for assistive devices in System Preferences each time you install it on a new computer.After installing it on Mavericks, SizeUp gave us the familiar message about enabling assistive devices.
This Feature Requires Universal Access Turned On From System Preferences Manual Modification OfNo problem, we thought, as we opened System Preferences and headed over to the Accessibility Pane, where the option has lived for years. Unfortunately, the old check box for assistive devices was gone and none of the new options seemed applicable. Without the ability to grant SizeUp access to OS Xs underlying control functions, the app was useless The function is missing from the Accessibility preferences in Mavericks. Thankfully, after a bit of searching, we found that Apple had simply moved the option to the Security Preference Pane. Youll find it in System Preferences Security Privacy Privacy Accessibility. Unlike previous versions of OS X, which used a universal checkbox in an all or nothing approach, the new functionality in Mavericks allows users to individually choose which apps can gain control of the system to perform their various scripted functions. In our case, we had to attempt to run SizeUp first, have it fail because control wasnt enabled, and then we found that it appeared in the new Accessibility list in System Preferences. We clicked the padlock icon at the lower left corner of the window to authenticate as an administrative user, checked the box next to SizeUp, and then found that our favorite app was back up and running again. This change not only applies to window management apps like SizeUp, but also to many other automation utilities and predefined AppleScripts.

Reply Richard Glaser says: June 27, 2014 at 2:41 pm FYI: We have made a management utility to administrate OS X Location Services, Contacts requests, Accessibility, and iCloud access in enterprise environments. It runs on OS X 10.8 10.9 and has been tested with OS X 10.10 Yosemite. This Feature Requires Universal Access Turned On From System Preferences Mac OS XSince Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Apple has introduced systems to handle access to certain features of the computer. Among these are Contacts (AddressBook), iCloud (Ubiquity), Accessibility, and Location Services. The first three are managed through one method (SQLite databases called TCC.db hidden throughout the system), while the latter is handled by the locationd daemon through property list files.
