You need to do what virtual box tells you - add your user to the group
vboxusers, open a terminal and type (do not type USER!!!)


sudo usermod -A vboxusers USER

replace USER with your login name.
Logout and login again.

Sorry this should have been
sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -A vboxusers …
but you already used yast to do the same so ignore it.
