DevTouchMovementMode sample code is broken

Bug Reports Documentation Issues
#1

Reproduction Steps
Use the sample code from the DevTouchMovementMode documentation page: StarterPlayer.DevTouchMovementMode

Expected Behavior
It does what the documentation suggests.

Actual Behavior
It throws an error:

Insufficent permissions to set DevTouchMovementMode - Studio
The current identity (2) cannot setDevTouchMovementMode (lacking permission 5) - Client - LocalScript:4

Workaround
Not sure. Trying to find a way to disable the mobile UI temporarily and this is one of that solutions that probably would have worked if not for the error.

Based on the code sample, particularly the use of Players.PlayerAdded, you are getting this error because this should be run on the Server (Script) rather than the client (LocalScript)
