Security Exception: android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

Question

Just faced this exception under my application PID in the Android Monitor, while not doing anything special. First time I'm seeing such thing, any explanation/docs? Thanks

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: 
    broadcast from android asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0;

    android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
