Preemption of a user by an administrator
If an administrator attempts to access a target device that is being accessed by a
user, a message requests that the administrator wait while the user is informed
that their session will be preempted. The user cannot reject the preemption
request and will be disconnected. The time period given before disconnection is
defined by the Video session preemption timeout setting in the Global-Sessions
category.
Preemption of a local user/administrator by an administrator
If an administrator attempts to access a target device that is being accessed by
the local user or by another administrator with equal privileges, the currently
connected user can accept or reject the preemption request. A message asks the
connected local user or administrator whether they want to accept the preemption
request. If the preemption request is rejected, a message is displayed informing
the administrator that their request has been rejected and that they cannot access
the target device.
In scenarios where a preemption request can be rejected, the Session
Preemption Request window opens. Use this window to accept the preemption
request by clicking the Accept button, or reject the preemption request by clicking
the Reject button or by closing the window.
