5249,USB devices inaccessible because /dev/bus/usb no write permissions for group vboxusers -> duplicate of #3394,Schlomo Schapiro,,"'''Issue'''[[BR]]
USB devices are visible but greyed out (Status: Unavailable)

'''Cause'''[[BR]]
The files in /dev/bus/usb have no write permission for the vboxusers group because the mode is 644 and not 664.

In /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vboxdrv.rules there is a rule setting the MODE to 0644, but this is overridden by /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules which sets the MODE to 0644.

'''Solution'''[[BR]]
The solution is to write the rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vboxdrv.rules like this:
SUBSYSTEM==""usb"", ENV{DEVTYPE}==""usb_device"", GROUP=""vboxusers"", MODE:=""0664""

Note the final assignment with := instead of =
