In addition to the built-in user groups, the DSView 3 software supports user-defined user
groups; see Grouping Units on page 233.
Preemption Levels
The preemption level of users determines whether they may interrupt or disconnect another
user’s serial or video (KVM) session with a target device. This also applies to virtual media
sessions, which are initiated from the Video Viewer.
DSView 3 software administrators and user administrators may specify the preemption level for
user accounts or user-defined user groups when an account or group is created. The preemption
level may be changed later. See Preemption level on page 271 or User Group Properties on
page 279.
By default, the preemption level used by the DSView 3 management software (the effective
user preemption level) is the highest level of all of the user groups to which the user belongs.
Preemption levels range from 1-4, with 4 being the highest level. For example, a user or a user
group with a preemption level of 4 may preempt other level 4 users or user groups, as well as
those with a level 1, 2 or 3 setting.
