It's not permitted because the bus daemon disconnects if it detects a 
connection from a different user. It's been like that for 8 years.

Maybe the solution to your problem is to use something other than D-Bus. 
Moreover, if one of the processes is running as root, you need to do a 
thorough verification of the incoming data to avoid exploits leading to 
privilege escalation.
