I'm afraid I became a little frantic after upgrading from Mojave to Catalina today. I got a notification about KM and the screen, and before I finished reading it, I accidentally clicked the deny button. Since then, I haven't been able to execute some important macros triggered by keystroke, and I wondered what permissions I have granted KM that I'm not able to locate because there are so many. Thanks, although I'm still a little frantic.
No problem. This should get you up and running quicklly:
TIP: Resolving Catalina/Mojave Accessibility/Security Permissions Issues
If not, post back with specific issues.
Thanks, JMichaelTX. The main one I'm troubleshooting is typing the text I've assigned to a variable in any context. If I change Insert text by typing to Display text in a window, the text is displayed. I can't seem to have the action type it, though.
Now I'm seeing what I haven't seen before. In Accessibility in Security & Privacy, the check mark by KM can't be removed. Is this common? The lock is not locked.

Oh, maybe cause KM's open.
Yep, that was it, the prefpane was lying. Quitting KM, removing, re-adding, removing engine, drilling into Keyboard Maestro app to find engine, re-adding engine seems to have solved it. Thanks.
(to clarify, removing refers to using the minus button in the prefpane, re-adding refers to dragging the app icon back into the prefpane.)

Unfortunately, yes.
The process to resolve it is straight forward but annoying that it has to be done at all.
I wish that Apple would consider whether a halfway interface enhancement regarding permissions management might be more inconvenient than no interface enhancement at all.
