There is absolutely a permission for that, it's called INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS. I suspect what you mean is 'is there a permission accessible by normal apps that can do this', to which the answer is no - the permission is signature-level, meaning the app must be signed with the same key as the OS to be able to access the permission. I can't find a page from the official docs from my phone, but there's a list of permissions on Stack Exchange: http://android.stackexchange.com/a/38389/150855 http://android.stackexchange.com/a/38389/150855
