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.
