Permits the kernel module for VirtualBox (vboxdrv)

To enable the use of kernel module for VirtualBox to users other than root, you need to set permissions on the same:

chmod 660 / dev / vboxdrv
chgrp adm / dev / vboxdrv

This is sufficient until the next reboot of the linux box, if we want to preserve the permissions you need to edit:

gedit / etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rule s

and add the following line:

KERNEL == "vboxdrv", GROUP = "adm", MODE = "0660"

Note: As a group was used adm, but could be any.
