  <title>The vboxusers Group</title>
  
  <body>
    <p>The Linux installers create the system user group <codeph>vboxusers</codeph> during installation. Any system user
      who is going to use USB devices from <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> guests must be a member
      of that group. A user can be made a member of the group <codeph>vboxusers</codeph> either by using the desktop
      user and group tools, or with the following command: </p>
    <pre xml:space="preserve">sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers username</pre>
