Start VirtualBox as a normal user or as an +administrator will prevent you from using it in the opposite way. Please keep +in mind that when Vagrant interacts with VirtualBox, it will interact with +it with the same access level as the console running Vagrant. + +To fix this issue, completely shut down all VirtualBox machines and GUIs. +Wait a few seconds. Then, launch VirtualBox only with the access level you +wish to use.
