9 On Windows hosts, a kernel mode device driver provides USB proxy
10 support. It implements both a USB monitor, which enables
11 Oracle VM VirtualBox to capture devices when they are plugged in, and
12 a USB device driver to claim USB devices for a particular
13 virtual machine. System reboots are not necessary after
14 installing the driver. Also, you do not need to replug devices
15 for Oracle VM VirtualBox to claim them.

18 On supported Linux hosts, Oracle VM VirtualBox accesses USB devices
19 through special files in the file system. When Oracle VM VirtualBox is
20 installed, these are made available to all users in the
21 <codeph>vboxusers</codeph> system group. In order to be able
22 to access USB from guest systems, make sure that you are a
23 member of this group.
