I think that is best you can hope for, unless you create a LaunchDaemon
that can find out what users you want to start background sessions for.

I'll save you the trouble of reading the previous posts. What I really
want is a "user daemon": a process that runs for a single user, all the
time, whether the user is logged in or not. OS X really doesn't support
this.<br>
<br>
Many years ago, based on another suggestion, I implemented a "kicker"
system daemon. This daemon has a list of UIDs that have my product
installed.<br>
<br>
So, at system startup, the "kicker" daemon executes once and performs a
simple bootstrap name look up for each listed user. This has the
side-effect of initializing the bootstrap for those specific users,
which then causes all of the background agents for those users to start.<br>
<br>
The end result is my "user daemon". At startup, an instance of each
background agent is started for each user that has installed it.<br>
<br>
At least, that was the plan...<br>
