SecurityException: android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS missing for bluetooth access

Facing this issue on non system app when attempting to do: "BluetoothAdapter::getProfileProxy". Observed only on android 8.1 but not reproducible.

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: query intent receivers: Neither user 15010171 nor current process has android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS.

Questions:

• Why this permission "INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS" is coming as an issue. (we check for bluetooth permission)

• As per https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothA2dp.java

  boolean doBind() {
  Intent intent = new Intent(IBluetoothA2dp.class.getName());
  ComponentName comp = intent.resolveSystemService(mContext.getPackageManager(), 0);
  intent.setComponent(comp); ...
  

  It looks like the permission issue is somewhere else - in some system service.

Wondering if someone can explain the issue.
