I am trying to test out the User Management capabilities on tvOS including 'runs-as-current-user'. When I try to add the capability to my project and provision my profile for signing, it errors with "Personal development teams, including <my_username>, do not support the User Management capability."

Am I doing something wrong? Should I be trying to sign this another way? I can't just spin up a build to test this functionality on my Apple TV without paying and making a whole organizational team? If so, it is no wonder no apps use this entitlement!

Thanks, that is helpful. I don't understand why Apple would gate it behind a paid membership given that it doesn't use Apple's servers and isn't a preview like other gated features. Additionally, given the text, I think that even if I had a paid membership, it would still require it to be an organization. Multi-user support could be great on tvOS, and given the tvOS 16 improvements and updates from WWDC, I really thought Apple was committed to making it a reality. However, it is clear from this type of gating that they are not. It is telling that I can't think of one single app that uses these capabilities - and now I know one major reason that might be.
