macOS 10.15 System Preference Panes

Below are a list of System Preference pane URLs and paths that can be accessed with scripting to assist users with enabling macOS security settings without having to walk them through launching System Preferences, finding panes, and scrolling to settings. Not all panes have an accessible anchor and some are OS specific.

To find the Pane ID of a specific pane, open the System Preferences app and select the desired Preference Pane. With the pane selected, open the ScriptEditor.app and run the following script to copy the current Pane ID to your clipboard and display any available anchors:

tell application "System Preferences"
	set CurrentPane to the id of the current pane
	set the clipboard to CurrentPane

How to Find ANY Icon

Open the application such that you see the icon on your screen.
Open Activity Monitor
Double click the name of the application (i.e. Finder or System Preferences)
Select "Open Files and Ports"
Copy the output to a file and then grep for .icns

Similarly you could run this command, but it may take several minutes to complete:
