Shortcuts Not Authorized

Question

Shortcuts Not Authorized

I ran this Shortcut in Monterey without problems, yet in Ventura, I am getting this:

Do I need to enable something in System Settings (or elsewhere) or is this telling me that I cannot run the shortcut which is the following script:

on run {input, parameters}

tell application "Contacts"

set the clipboard to (vcard of people) as text

do shell script "pbpaste >~/Desktop/AM/JOHN.vcf"

quit "Contacts"

end tell

return input

end run

Thanks for your help

I think you need to set up script, editor, or AppleScript events in the accessibility section of the privacy tab in security and privacy settings. I’m not an iMac to give you the correct description, but I think that’s close. Essentially, you have to allow Apple script to control the Contacts app.

In system settings > accessibility, there doesn't seem much to alter and Shortcuts are enabled there.

In security and privacy: full disk access has Shortcuts and Script Editor enabled. Files and Folders has Script Menu, Script Editor ,Shortcuts enabled all with full disk access: the pics concern me as THE FILES AND FOLDERS shows script editor and shortcuts GREY both with full disc access when the > is clicked

In privacy and security, when I select contacts. it says allow the apps below to access your contacts and DO NOT see Script Editor and have no clue how to add it in, if it should be there.

FILES AND FOLDERS

FULL DISC ACCESS
