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

	Thinking Process:
	1. Analyze the Request:
	- Question: "What is the air speed velocity of a swallow."
	- Context: This is a classic joke/meme originating from the movie _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_.
	- Intent: The user is likely looking for the punchline/reference, not necessarily the actual scientific data (though providing both adds value).
