Add this android:protectionLevel="signature" in your manifest .

For more details, you can check Permission-Element

Like:

<permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

To summarize from this answer, and looking at the sources of UserHandle.java we see the meaning of the framework user id's.

# | @UserIdInt            | Value  | Status     | Description |# | --------------------- | ------ | ---------- | ------------| # | USER_OWNER            | 0      | deprecated | "owner" user of the device# | USER_SYSTEM           | 0      | ok         | "system" user of the device# | USER_ALL              | -1     | ok         | ALL users on the device  | USER_CURRENT          | -2     | ok         | the currently active user# | USER_CURRENT_OR_SELF  | -3     | ok         | id from which we would like to send to the current user# | USER_NULL             | -10000 | ok         | An undefined user id

Then to understand what android:protectionLevel="signature" means, you'll have to read the page about permission-element. Which is summarized in the table:

So what you need to do in your AndroidManifest.xml depend a lot on what API's you need to support, as higher > 23 API's also require a android:permissionGroup= definition, for non-normal ("dangerous") permissions...
