Virtual Box - Start and Deploy

[petben]

Hello, I now have a working VirtualBox VM for students to use - 2 Q's.

 

1. Students will start the VM using the script below, restricting menus etc, but when I start as an admin not using the script but just from the Virtual Box GUI I was expecting it to start with all the options enabled (so I could make changes), why is it still restricted just like starting from the script?
   
2. 
   
3. To put this VM access in an IT room how much of the Virtual Box application do I need to install, could I just give them vboxmanage.exe to be able to start and use the VM?
