Yes, usually, but not always. It depends on the credit card, and whether you have the information required. Sometimes the primary user has to activate them, but then the other authorized users can use them. For instance, this is the message on a popular credit card site: "If you are an Authorized User for this credit card account you'll need to have the Primary Cardmember's date of birth and the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number. If they don't have a Social Security Number you'll need their billing address zip code." So, unless you are the primary user, or have the primary user's information, you can't activate until they activate it.
