title: AppleScript without Admin privileges, how can I get a users preferred time to open App?
body: <p>I have an automation script that I'm working on for my coworkers to try and make their station setup easy each time. The computers are reset each day and we dont have admin access so it takes us 15 mins to set up each time. </p>
  
  <p>I've managed to cut this down to a minute with a script that opens and positions 90% of the apps and website tabs needed. Its pretty limited though because I cant use things like System Events to move non-supported apps</p>
  
  <p>The problem with automating the desktop setup is that people come in 20-40 minutes before their shift, and there is an App we can only open one minute before the shift starts. If I'm automating everything, they can spend time chatting and getting other things done, BUT it may result in users forgetting to open the app, or opening it too early and getting into trouble.</p>
  
  <p>I know how to set a specific time that an app can open, but I need it to work on a variation of shifts, which can be one of 20 different shift starts, so to make it more convenient I would need a text field or drop down menu</p>
  
  <p>I dont know of a way I can use AppleScript to do this though.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any other creative ways I can pull this off?</p>
