We have a network copy utility which reads from an external volume (specifically camera media). We'd like to grant it external volume access at installation time, preferably without having to find and insert media.
But triggering an 'external volumes' dialog (and hence adding an entry to Security / Files and Folders) seems to require accessing an actual external volume.
In contrast Full Disk Access can be granted preemptively, but it's a huge security hazard - it would give the copy utility unrestricted access to the entire machine.
Is it possible to grant 'external volume' access when you don't (yet) have an external volume connected ?
