macOS request control via Accessibility Features

[Anonymous]

Fusion 360 just asked me for permission to control my mac via Accessibility Features. Given that Fusion 360 already is an app that is downloaded and installed in a non-standard manner, and I have no idea what the security model is, does anybody know what will be enabled if I provide Accessibility Feature access?

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! Mojave has some new settings that require permission for Fusion 360 to use the trackpad.

I discussed this with our QA team and they mentioned that you can not give permissions with no issues, but this may cause problems if you are using the "Native Trackpad" app or potentially down the road.

Please let me know if you have questions!

I'm having two of those Fusion 360 entries, and I clicked them off, today.

1. Is it "normal" to have two such entries? What can I do to debug/make one go away if it's from an old version - maybe?

2. Since I'm on Mac mini without a trackpad, couldn't you sniff that and never bring the issue up. If it's about trackpad use.
