The administrative user can use this screen to allow multiple users to connect to a serial port at the same time and allow or disallow port sharing (simultaneous access to the same port). To connect to the port or start a shared session at the port, the user must have permission to access the port.

Only one shared session and one normal session are allowed. The shared session menu is presented.
Multiple read/write sessions and multiple shared (read-only) sessions are allowed. The multiple shared session menu is presented.
