5 <title>Implementation Notes for Windows and Linux Hosts</title>

8 <p>On Windows hosts, a kernel mode device driver provides USB proxy support. It implements both a USB
9 monitor, which enables <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> to capture devices when they are
10 plugged in, and a USB device driver to claim USB devices for a particular virtual machine. System reboots are not
11 necessary after installing the driver. Also, you do not need to replug devices for <ph
12 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> to claim them. </p>
13 <p>On supported Linux hosts, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> accesses USB
14 devices through special files in the file system. When <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is
15 installed, these are made available to all users in the <codeph>vboxusers</codeph> system group. In order to be
16 able to access USB from guest systems, make sure that you are a member of this group. </p>
