Edit and change tcc data base in place:

$HOME/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db

Hello fnyclah, can you explain what’s the purpose of this command ?

Thank you

My idea came from this github code page – please read it.

TCC.db is a sqlite database, so using a sqlite3 editor we can edit it (but it requires root privileges or SIP to be disabled).

There are so many flags. but "All" is for any purpose.
