Secondary users cannot share the exclusive KVM session. However, administrators or users can 
still terminate the session.

Multiple users can view and interact with a target device using digital share mode. When a session 
is shared, the secondary user can be an active user with keyboard and mouse control or a passive 
user that does not have keyboard and mouse control.
