How to add different VMs for different users ?

[leiw324]

Hello,

I just installed 4.1-4.1.6_74713_fedora16 and phpvirtualbox-4.1-5 on Fedora 16 64bits version, successfully login into admin console by phpvirtualbox.

Question is how do I create new user on virtualbox for one VM ? I have been see VP hosting use virtualbox to do it.

Thanks !

When you installed VirtualBox the VM area was created in your host OS's <userdata> folder. A different user logged into your host will see a different set of VMs.

If you are asking how multiple users can share a VM between different user accounts - they can't, but they can share access to the same VDI, which would have to be stored outside one users private area.

I added an user by phpvirtualbox, this user can see admin's VM.
