Mini4: Missing 'Allow accessories to connect' setting

Using a Mini4 on Tahoe 26.3.1, I am missing 'Allow accessories to connect' in 'Privacy & Security' in 'System Settings'. The Plugable USB-C Triple Monitor Docking Station I use must be disconnected / reconnected every time I reboot my Mini4.

Only Portable Laptop Mac's have those "Allow accessories to connect" settings.


What Docking Station do you have and what is connected to it...?


Mac's do not play well running multiple displays thru a single dock like a PC.

They want to have each display connected to a separate port.
