There is a new feature on MacOS Ventura when new USB and Thunderbolt accessories require user approval before the accessory can communicate with macOS for connections wired directly to the USB-C port. On GUI we can change the setting on System Settings>Security & Privacy>Security. However, we have a OS deployment workflow which using USB-C ethernet adapter for network connection. This change make my USB ethernet adaptor does not work after Ventura installed. I need to write a custom script which can use it on the workflow. Does anyone know the command in CLI/Script for alway allow any USB-C accessories?

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Ray
