> Preemption
> Preemption provides a means for users with sufficient privilege to take control of a server from another user with lesser or equal privilege.

> NOTE: | No time period will be displayed in cases where the server being viewed is attached to an Avocent A1000R or Avocent A2000R.

> NOTE: | All users sharing the connection that is being preempted will be warned, but only the primary user will be able to reject the preemption (if allowed).

> Table 3-1 outlines the preemption scenarios and detailed scenarios in which preemption requests can be rejected.
