In order to enable access to these devices you'll need to add your username to the group vboxusers. $ sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers <username> Example $ sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers saml You can confirm the change afterwards: $ groups saml saml : saml wheel vboxusers wireshark After doing the above you'll want to logout and log back in in order for the newly added group to get picked up by your user account. Then from the VirtualBox GUI you'll be able to right click on the USB icon in the lower right group of icons, and select whatever USB devices you want to give control over to your running guest VM.                                Detecting USB devices You can use VirtualBox's little known command line tool VBoxManage to list out the USB devices that are accessible. This is a good way to also confirm that the group addition made above to your username are being picked up correctly. Example ทั้งหมดที่เชียนมาทุกอย่างต้องReboot ถึงจะใช้งานได้...ครับ
