How to connect a physical disk to VirtualBox without using root?

Question

virtual box

Good afternoon.
There is VB, there is a physical disk. I made a "link" to the physical. disk via command:

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename driveName.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdX

The problem is that when connecting, an error appears - VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004).
This is a rights error - I'm trying to use /dev/sdX directly.
You can run as root, you can add yourself to the "disk" group. From the root, of course, we will not work, adding ourselves to a disk group, I think, is also unnecessary.
The question is what is the best way to do it?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Membership in the disk group gives access to all disks, you can write to only one desired disk
chmod a=rw /dev/sdX
or make the user the owner of the disk, then give access only to him
