Can I enable developer mode for a user other than the owner on an Android tablet?
android, permissions
Solution
Yes. Enable whatever developer settings you want as the main user; then it will be the same across all users (at least, this is what worked for me). Note that often if you are connecting to something there will be a prompt on your device asking if it's okay to connect to the computer/application. You need to switch back to the main user to accept the prompt, then it should work on all users
Problem
I'd like to use someone else's (Nexus 7) tablet for some development and testing, however it seems that the normal method of enabling developer mode only works for the 'owner' user. I could use the owner's account, but I'd rather it were possible to use my own. Seems fairly straightforward that what I want is not allowed (perhaps it would be possible with some rooting and fiddling, which I may or may not bother with on this device). Is this documented anywhere?
