TCC service (kTCCService)

The identifier in the service column of TCC.db naming the protected resource, such as kTCCServiceCamera, kTCCServiceAccessibility or kTCCServiceAppleEvents.

A TCC service is the protected resource a row is about, stored in the service column of TCC.db as an identifier with the kTCCService prefix. Examples: kTCCServiceSystemPolicyAllFiles (Full Disk Access), kTCCServiceAccessibility, kTCCServiceScreenCapture (Screen Recording), kTCCServiceListenEvent (Input Monitoring), kTCCServiceAppleEvents (Automation), kTCCServiceCamera, kTCCServiceMicrophone.

tccutil takes the name without the prefix, for example tccutil reset ScreenCapture. See TCC.db forensics: the investigator's guide.
