Learn about the changes to the systemsetup command in macOS Catalina 10.15 and later.

To use the systemsetup command with either the -setremotelogin or -setremoteappleevents flag in macOS Catalina 10.15 or later, first give the parent process full-disk-access. You can grant full-disk-access manually or using Mobile Device Management (MDM):

• Manually grant Full Disk Access: choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then select the Privacy tab. Scroll down and click Full Disk Access, then add the parent process.

• Use MDM: use the PrivacyPreferencesPolicyControl payload. Learn more
