I have Mac mini M4 pro with tahoe 26.5.1.
Why i don't see pop-up menu "accessory" under "system settings / privacy & security" ?
I'm connecting "Arturia audiofuse studio" audio interface directly over USB and it's not showing up as audio device in Sound settings. But I can see it in System report under USB that it is connected.
Mac mini (M4 Pro, 2024)
Check with the manufacturer for updated firmware (or drivers, though those usually aren't necessary for DACs). There have been multiple reports of USB DACs not showing up under Tahoe. Some users have reported that firmware updates for their devices corrected the issue. You can also report it to Apple:
As @Owl-53 states, your issue is NOT a missing Allow Accessories to Connect setting, because that setting is ONLY present on Mac laptops and not on Mac desktops like your Mac mini. You don't see the setting because it's not supposed to be there, by Apple's design.

Simply not there???
Yes, that is correct. That setting does not exist on a desktop Mac like a Mini because there are no restrictions on attaching accessories to a desktop Mac. It only exists on Apple laptops.
It is suggested the user ( you ) review the previous supplied Technical Details
Allowing Accessories ONLY applies Mac laptops with Apple silicon, you might need to approve new accessories before they can connect.
It does NOT to Apple Silicon Desktops computer nor to Apple Intel Computers
Predicated on your byline " Mac mini (M4 Pro, 2024) " is considered as a Desktop Apple Computer
Allow USB and other accessories to connect to your Mac
The catch in all this is " On Mac laptops with Apple silicon, you might need to approve new accessories before they can connect.
Check with the Maker of this device for additional support specific to usages on Apple Silicon computer running macOS 26 Tahoe

I checked in my Macbook pro M1 and iMAC (Intel) at home and it's always like it should be.
On my brand new MacMini M4 pro SN: KG*****D3V with Tahoe 26.5.1. is NOT? Therefore i can't approve new accessory.
