8 | The Linux installers create the system user group
|
---|
9 | <codeph>vboxusers</codeph> during installation. Any system
|
---|
10 | user who is going to use USB devices from Oracle VM VirtualBox guests
|
---|
11 | must be a member of that group. A user can be made a member of
|
---|
12 | the group <codeph>vboxusers</codeph> either by using the
|
---|
13 | desktop user and group tools, or with the following command:
|
