Mac camera is accessible by application even when Block Camera tool is enabled

APPLIES TO:

Parallels Toolbox
Parallels Toolbox Business Edition

Symptoms

On macOS 10.14 Mojave, Block Camera tool does not restrict access to Mac built-in camera for some applications, like Photo Booth or Safari etc.

Cause

Tool design limitation due to macOS built-in System Integrity Protection which does not allow Parallels Toolbox to control access by system applications.
