Users Logged in to the ESXi Shell When Lockdown Mode Is Enabled
If users are logged in to the ESXi Shell or access the host through SSH before lockdown mode is enabled, those users who are on the list of Exception Users and who have administrator privileges on the host remain logged in. Starting with vSphere 6.0, the session is terminated for all other users. This applies to both normal and strict lockdown mode.
