Is it possible to manually control access the bluetooth interface?

I have a home theater pc (running Arch + KDE) and two user accounts, TV and LOCAL. Both users have full, equal permissions. I'm currently set up so that the TV user is automatically logged in on boot. I can access the bluetooth interface both via keyboard and mouse and if I ssh into the system as the TV user. However, if I then ssh in as the LOCAL user (with TV still automatically logged in from boot and running a graphical instance on the television) I cannot access the bluetooth interface; the TV user instance's bluetooth still works fine. Is it possible to access bluetooth with both accounts simultaneously? If not, TV does not need to ever access bluetooth and LOCAL does. Is there a way to manually set bluetooth permissions, or forcibly control which user has current access to the bluetooth interface?

Was the Local user added to the system after TV? If so check that the groups that they are both members of match in reguards to what is required to manage bluetooth.

When you type groups in terminal, what happens as both users? >$username adm dialout cdrom sudo audio dip video plugdev lpadmin sambashare @Christopher Byrd

@MichaelProkopec just that: a single line it output containing only the username. the /etc/groups files has many groups listed with the two users as x:1000: and x:1001:

When you type groups in terminal, what happens as both users? >$username adm dialout cdrom sudo audio dip video plugdev lpadmin sambashare @Christopher Byrd

@MichaelProkopec just that: a single line it output containing only the username. the /etc/groups files has many groups listed with the two users as x:1000: and x:1001:
