Preemption levels
The preemption level of users determines whether they may disconnect another user’s serial or
video (KVM) session with a target device.
DSR switch on-board web interface administrators may specify the preemption level for user
accounts when an account is created. The preemption level may be changed later.
Preemption levels range from 1-4, with 4 being the highest level. For example, a user with a
preemption level of 4 may preempt other level 4 users, as well as those with a level 1, 2 or 3 setting.
To change the default preemption level (administrator only):
1. Click Appliance - Appliance Settings - Ports - OSCAR.
2. Use the drop-down menu to select the new level and click the Save button.
