MANAGE_USERS permission not found in `android.permission` list

Question

I want to use UserManager in my code. But for that it requires the permission MANAGE_USERS

I tried adding it in the manifest but there is no permission listing in manifest called MANAGE_USERS.

Then I tried adding this line

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_USERS" />

but still it gives error while running , says

java.lang.SecurityException: You need MANAGE_USERS permission to: query user

My minSdk version is 14. How can I add this permission? Thanks in advance..

You need to sign your app with platform signature to use this permission. This maybe helpful for you.
