I know this question overlaps with some other StackExchange sites, however since I want a development environment this matches for StackOverflow.

I'm setting up an VM with vagrant to extend a Linux service on a windows host. It works fine so far just softlinks don't work on shared folders. This is a known bug of VirtualBox. There is a workaround if you run virtual box on an account without admin permissions. However this is no option for me. AFIK I can modify the group permissions of a standard user so that they can create a symlink (on NTFS), but this does not work for admin users. So I need to run the VM with a different user account. Any idea how I can setup vagrant to run a VM with a different user?

  • At first I though you were trying to run as a different user on the guest, but it seems you're trying to run VBox and the Vagrant process on your Windows host using a non-admin account? If so, have you tried runas.exe? – Sneal Nov 26 '14 at 15:57
  • I would like to but vagrant is executing the headless virtual box vm. I have no idea how to inject a runas in vagrant. – rekire Nov 26 '14 at 15:59
  • @Yser no I need to run the virtualbox.exe with a different user. – rekire Nov 26 '14 at 19:58
