This is going to be a bit annoying for those of us who do remote tech support for family members.

Okay Dad, now click allow. The "allow" button. There is a button on your screen that says "allow". Yes, it allows me to vi-- no I can't until you cli-- yes, the window in the middle of the screen, there is a "allow" and "don't allow" button--- the one on the left, the left one, click that. No, you just sent me another blank email. There should be something in the middle of the scr--- yes! That's it! Click that! .... Why did you click "don't allow"?

I’m tech support for my family and this comment gave me Pre-Tramautic Stress Syndrome.

Fuck that. It'll be hell for people who do remote support for commercial businesses. If they do this, I see companies strongly evaluating switching platforms. This is super user-hostile. This opinion is coming to you from an Apple platform user.

MDMs already allow business to manage security permissions for apps. I don’t see why this would be any different. If the company has an MDM, this change should have no impact on their users. If they don’t have an MDM, they really need to get one, not just for this, but a lot of other security and usability reasons.

This will really suck for users of personal devices, though.
