I have been using VirtualBox for 4 years now. I run it as a non-admin user and it worked fine. No admin permissions were required to run or boot up any VM.
Recently I installed the GenyMotion Android emulator on my host machine. It uses Virtualbox to create and run VMs. This genymotion needs admin permissions when I run the genymotion device manager. They say it is because it needs to create and/or access the VirtualBox interfaces (network interfaces). So every time I have to start genymotion, the admin permission (on Windows) pops up, and I have to enter the admin password. This keeps happening like 10-15 times (sometimes even more). What it does is that it creates multiple VirtualBox host-only ethernet adapters with these permissions (one for each adapter). It is really annoying to enter the password so many times. So instead, what I do is that I run Genymotion as administrator. So the admin permissions that were required for VirtualBox Interface are automatically granted.
The problem is that, now whenever I want to run a VM from VirtualBox manager, the same permissions pop up asking for admin privileges for the VirtualBox interface.
How can I get rid of these multiple admin permission pop-ups? I don't run VirtualBox as an admin and I don't want to.
