Dell PowerEdge 180AS User Manual page 78

Secondary users may be either Active users who have the ability to input
mouse and keyboard data, or Passive users who may not input mouse and
keyboard data.
If Automatic Sharing is enabled on the Remote Console Switch, Secondary
Users do not need the permission of the Primary User to join the session.
If a Primary user leaves the session, then the oldest Secondary user with
Active user privileges will become the Primary user. If there are no Secondary
users with Active user privileges sharing the session when the Primary user
leaves the session, then the session will be closed.
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.
