Mac server can't automatically be used between user accounts

What happened?

At least when the Mac is the server and Windows/Linux is the client, I'm not able to keep Barrier "On" in more than one MacOS User Account without causing input devices to lose clicking and typing interaction, and also unable to jump to any client machines.

Instead what I must do is remember to "Stop" Barrier on my current user account, then fast switch to the other user account and "Start" Barrier there. Then if I want to continue in the previous user account, I must do the same thing in reverse.

On Windows, at least as the client, I can keep Barrier running in multiple user accounts and fast user switch between them and push my cursor over to that machine without anything going wrong.

Is there some kind of elevated permission or something that could make it work this seamlessly on the Mac?
