Hi guys



In Mavericks with a cinema display attached there is an options tab in the display preferences there is an option tab.



In order to make a change you have to unlock the padlock, but users don't have admin rights.



Doesn't anyone know if it is possible to script the option to "Pressing the displays power turn the display on and off"?



Thanks



Tim

Is there something in the new authorization.db in Mavericks that could be modified to allow non admin users to make this change? Something like:



security authorizationdb write system.preferences.displays authenticate-everyone


Of course, that may open up some other options to those users in the Displays panel that you may not want to do.



I have my doubts on whether it could be scripted (possibly with some GUI scripting- get a copy of UIBrowser), but I'm not that familiar with the option in Displays that you're referring to.

Thanks Mike I will give that a go
