priv-siri

10.12 has "Siri & Dictation" in the "Location Services" section of the Security & Privacy prefpane. This doesn't seem to be attached to any particular application. We typically disable (grey-out) Security & Privacy to prevent people from encrypting their drive in a non-Enterprise way, or disabling the screen lock. However, my users are likely to get all "bothered" that their shiny new Siri doesn't let them do location based stuff, so I'd like to be able to use privacy_services_manager.py to programatically pre-configure this, so they don't have to whine about not being allowed into the Security & Privacy pane.

Managed to figure this out:

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locationd.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :com.apple.locationd.bundle-/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AssistantServices.framework:Authorized true" /var/db/locationd/clients.plist
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locationd.plist
