In addition to the built-in user groups, the DSView 3 software supports user-defined user groups;
see Grouping Units on page 187.
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
