VMWare Workstation requires root. How to run as superuser?

Question

linux

Good afternoon!
On the host OS Debian 10, VMWare Workstation PRO (gui) is installed, inside of which several more linux-like systems are running. Everything works, but there is a need to give virtual machines access to a physical disk and change something else in the settings.
When adding a physical disk to a virtual machine, the settings window says " You must be running as root to change... "

So, in fact, the question is: how to run VMWare Workstation (guy) on a host with Debian 10 OS on behalf of RTH?
Tried:
1. sudo vmware - did not help
In the console output: "display not set: 0", VMWare window does not open
2. set suid - did not help
When launched through the console / shortcut, VMWare tries to start, several processes appear in htop and close

. Good people, tell me how to get the hypervisor to work on behalf of RTH? How to change the settings available only to RTH?

Answer 1

gksu vmware

?

Answer 2

This error "In console output: "display not set: 0", VMWare window does not open" should be run in an xterm such as one running in an X server. And you are probably trying to run from the console.

Answer 3

try

sudo pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY vmware
