By any chance has anyone here had any luck creating a privacy preference policy profile for Wacom tablets? All that is required to enable is Accessibility but for some reason when I create the policy with the PPPC utility the tablets don't respond properly.
@snowfox Yay, it did apply even though Wacom Desktop Centre wants to access system preferences still shows unchecked. It works like the notification profiles, not very easy to troubleshoot. So glad that we only got 23 Wacom Cintiqs! And thank you for the article too.
nevermind. 1D10T error :)
This helped me finding the locations of various Wacom apps
thanks , it help me a lot although I don't use a wacom tablet but a xp-pen drawing pad . it's similar to that.
Has anyone had success on a student laptop where they don't have administrative privileges. I've got the PPPC set up, I even manually moved all the "apps" to the proper location in the system preferences...but I still can get the Cintiq 16 to link up to the student MacBook Air running Catalina 10.15.7. I believe it may have something to do with the "third party" settings. The students can't access any third part apps in the System Preference pane. Any suggestions?
This isn't a perfect solution by far, but I put together a script that will unlock Security & Privacy. We have this available in Self Service so if a user needs to change any settings they just run this and can make whatever changes they need. I hope this helps someone, or if you have a suggestion on how this script could be better let me know I am still fairly new to AppleScript.

# This script unlocks Security & Privacy so standard

Afternoon,
I found this on Adobe's site and it's working on Catalina.
