USB Device not Visible in VirtualBox

My USB device is not visible in the USB screen.

My host OS is Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, running VirtualBox 6.1, and have installed version 6.1.16r140961 of the extension pack. I also added my user to the vboxusers group.

If anyone has run into this issue can you please share how you solved it?

Thanks!

Did you logout/login after adding the user to the group ?
Try to run with sudo, and check if you can access USB. If you can't, the problem isn't with the vboxusers group.

Go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If steps 1 through 7 cannot get your device working, please provide the troubleshooting command outputs in step 8, as text in

 tags. Also zip and post the requested vbox.log, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
