Ln -s /path/to/shared/location/VirtualBox.xml Mv ~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml ~/Library/VirtualBox/ Go into Terminal and run the following commands:Ĭp ~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml /path/to/shared/location/VirtualBox.xml Configure the VM to be the way you want it.ģ. Put the VM in a place that everyone can access. In the event that someone else needs this, here’s one way to share a VirtualBox VM among multiple users on the same Mac.ġ. Since that was locking out everyone else, this was a problem.įortunately, I was not the first person to run into this issue.
Later that day, I get an update letting me know “Hey, we’re having permissions issues.” When I checked the VM, it looked like VirtualBox was giving ownership of the VM to the last user who had used the VM.
The VM had been already set up in /Users/Shared/VM_directory_name, so I reset the permissions on the VM so that it was read/write by a group that all the users were in and went off to the next issue.
I was asked at work to set a Fedora Linux VirtualBox virtual machine so that it could be accessed by multiple users on the same Mac.
