How can I share a GNOME Boxes VM with another user account?

[itlearner (N S)]

How can I share a VM between multiple user accounts? I have tried doing something like this but it didn’t work. ```
groupadd windows_image
usermod -a -G windows_image Administrator
usermod -a -G windows_image Standard
chgrp -R windows_image /path/to/probably/kvm/image.img
chmod -R 770 //path/to/probably/kvm/image.img

You should use system mode, which allows multi-user access:

The recommended client is Virtual Machine Manager aka virt-manager.
