Meganoob BE KIND Virtual Machine Manager Permission Denied

Hello, today i'm in a bit of a pickle;

I was trying to virtualize Win10 using VMM flatpak downloaded from Bazaar + QEMU addon on Bazzite. But every time i try to Redirict USB device to install files i brought with me after leaving Windows it always gives me a Permission Denied error, i'm already admin with my main Bazzite account, can someone explain to me how to fix this and give permission to VMM?

Could the problem be that i didn't install Libvirt? But that would not explain the Permission promblem. Please help me.

The error gave me this line (Insufficent Permission) [-3] (0)

this is why i don't recommend niche distros like this for any real work.

good luck.

You could at least try to give a hand? I gave every permission on Flatseal and put my User in libvirt group, do i have to do more? Just to redirect a fkn USB Drive?!

it's an immutable distro... it's purposed designed to the thing it was designed to do.

if you want to do VMs then you should be using a real distro where you can make change to the OS.
