Using preemption
Preemption provides a means for users with sufficient access level to take control of a server from another
(remote or local) user who has a lesser or equal access level. Depending on the access level of the user
issuing the preemption request and that of the user being preempted, the preemption request can be
rejected. The Override Admin account is treated as a Console Switch Administrator in the following table.
