I've made a bash script for swapping audio interfaces.
It works perfectly when fired up from terminal.
Next i used automator to make it into a service so i can assign a hotkey to it.
If i start the service from automator it works.
After i assigned the hotkey it will only work when system preferences is active, otherwise i get an "operation not permitted" error.
What am i doing wrong here?

You may need to give your script and/or Automator permission to "control your computer" in
System Settings->Privacy & Security->Accessibility.
Also, have a look at what is allowed in System Settings->Privacy & Security->Automation.

Thanks Luis, i tried that before but it appeared under System Settings->Privacy & Security->Development Tools i couldn't add a service (they were greyed out when trying to add them via the + sign). Dragging the file into System Preferences from Finder did do the trick. Weird but it worked.
EDIT: Now it only works when Finder or System Preferences are active. When the focus is on any other application i get the same error.
