In case of bug report: Expected behaviour you didn't see

systemd-run --user --scope bash -c "sleep 100" should start a new scope and service in the user systemd instance.

In case of bug report: Unexpected behaviour you saw

systemd-run fails and the journal has run-r9c9b0f8d4fd14753bd9d4446b7a4c1ef.scope: Failed to add PIDs to scope's control group: Permission denied

The system was booted with systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1. Removing that option (and rebooting) makes systemd-run --scope work again.
