That’s true but not only for a unix user. You can do everything you wrote on 
Windows also.

On a *nix OS you can play with ACL rules and/or with a specific user to 
virtualbox users and a sudo configuration. But, if the user know that, he can 
also modify the VDI file with a … sudo command on host OS. You can also use a 
specific command which play virtualbox with specific rights….
