USB devices not working on my Virtualbox

As I'm now moving to Ubuntu exclusively! but wait I need to do some things to do in Windows. So I had to install Virtualbox and then suddenly I have to connect some USB dongle into my Virtual Windows, but sadly it didn't work.

I did my research on internet, so the problem was easy to solve, just add the user that it's running Virtualbox to the vboxusers group, like this:

$ sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a YOUR_USER

But for some reason, it didn't work until I restarted. Maybe I just only needed to log out and log in back.

Also if you need it, you can list all your USB devices connected to your Ubuntu with this command:

$ lsusb
