4.4
Using preemption
Preemption provides a means for users with sufficient privilege to take control of a target
device from another user with lesser or equal privilege.
If preemption warnings are enabled, all users sharing the connection that is being
preempted are warned, unless the target device is connected to a KVM s3-1621
appliance. If the primary user has the corresponding access rights, they can reject the
preemption.
Table 4 outlines the preemption scenarios and detailed scenarios in which preemption
requests can be rejected.
