Multiple users

[eaglefrq]

I am new to Linux and VB so any help will be appreciated.

If user 1 logs onto the RHEL 8 computer and runs the Windows VM from VB 7 and then user 1 locks the computer and steps out and user 2 logs into the same RHEL 8 computer and attempts to start the Windows VM from VB is there a way to prevent the Windows VM from running?

We are having this issue where a different user tries to start the Windows VM and it corrupts the VM because someone else has it running already. We end up having to restore the VM.

VirtualBox works very well in a multi-user environment, as long as you don't violate the basic assumption: a VM is a per-user resource. Do not set up VMs for several users pointing to the same hard disk image (DVD images can be shared of course, they're read-only).
