Ran into this issue where the "anyone" option in Security and Privacy vanishes after upgrading from El Capitan or Yosemite. Prevents you from running apps downloaded outside the App store. Posted a video of the fix, might help someone here out...
Got a tip for us?

That's correct, Sierra removed the "from anywhere" option in the Security & Privacy pane.
And, your "fix" is not a necessary thing for most users. Even if you encounter an app that you need to download from "anywhere", running the app is a short right-click to choose "run" from the contextual menu, click the response window to accept that - and done.

Touché! But is that also available for non-admin users? That would surely be a flaw in security.

I had an issue where it was saying some of my apps were damaged when I tried the right clicl option. So had to use this "fix"

No, in the Terminal bit, you have to supply admin credentials. So all good security wise!
Oke, never seen that one. Glad you could fix it. I'll keep this one in my troubleshoot database then!
Cheers
You don't have to disable the security feature. You can add an exception for each app you want to run that is from an "unknown source"
