Using preemption
Secondary users with administrator access rights that are equal to or greater than
those of the primary user rights can preempt a KVM session, if an administrator
has enabled session preemption.
All users sharing the session that is being preempted are warned, unless the
target device is connected to an RCM switch. A primary user with administrator
access rights that are equal to those of the secondary user can reject the
preemption.
4.2 outlines the preemption scenarios and detailed scenarios in which
preemption requests can be rejected.
