WorkflowServiceRunner is not allowed to send keystrokes

Re question https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252764860 by @AlberVonMooseedorf

Where an Automator Service with AppleScript that uses keystrokes does not have permission to use keystrokes.

A work around is to make sure the target App is listed in the System Preference.App -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility List.

Microsoft is listening to keyboard input even while using other apps Hello Microsoft Teams has many keyboard shortcuts and they seem to often be interfering even when the app is not focused. For example Ctrl+Shift+S can call everyone on your team. It's more then just me. See here https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/33965626-disable-or-modify-keyboard-shortcuts MacOS has a permission under "Security & Privacy" for "Input Monitoring" but Microsoft Teams is not listed there. How is Teams aloud to monitor global key input without asking for the permission?

How to disable Third-party input method popup in Monterey? Hello people, I use two custom keyboard layouts (English and Russian) and switch between them using a hotkey via Keyboard Maestro. After the upgrade to Monterey, it became unusable - every input source change leads to a security notification popup: “Keyboard Maestro Engine” would like to enable third-party input method “Programmer Dvorak”. Keyboard Maestro uses the system API, so it is definitely not on their side. I cannot find how can I make a layout "trusted" somehow. Do you know if it is possible to get rid of the notification?
