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?

I was able to fix this by adding and then deleting a new user: In Settings, go to "Users". Tap "Add user" and follow the prompts, including "Set up now" to switch to the new user.
Enable developer options and USB debugging To enable developer options, tap the Build Number option 7 times. You can find this option in one of the following locations, depending on your Android version: Android 9 (API level 28) and higher: Settings > About Phone > Build Number.
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

Hi I had the same problem using two Galaxy Tab A tablets
On one I could debug using a guest account on the other not. I found that the difference was this Logging in as the owner and attaching the debugger it asks to enable debugging. There is an option there to say always allow this computer to access. Clicking this and then changing the account lets you debug while using the guest account.
