I need to add one application, for all users in my company, to the Accessibility list via some script or something like that.
My Accessibility Testbench application and source code <http://pfiddlesoft.com/accessibilitytestbench/index.html> does show you how to present your own application alert with your own wording, if you don't like the wording of the system-provided alert. However, I don't beieve you can do what you're asking without requesting and receiving the user's authentication password from each user separately.
For the normal user environment, you can't because Apple is concerned about security issues inherent in the accessibility API. If you could, it would defeat the purpose of the "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility" system.
Perhaps others can tell you whether there is a way around this in the enterprise environment where a system administrator wants to make an assistive application available to all users within the enterprise. You would presumably have to install your application on each computer in your company and enter the authentication password yourself, perhaps remotely.
