Original issue 924 created by arlake228 on 2014-06-11T13:33:25.000Z:
A reasonably common issue that comes up is the inability for administrators to perform a test “right now”. Either end might be unable to schedule a test for some period of time despite an administrator wanting to be able to verify something in the near term.
A possible solution to this would have the ability to have certain tests be authenticated and allow those tests to go to the front of the queue. Because this impacts both sides and potentially a side where the local admin is not the admin on the far end being able to do this arbitrarily seems undesireable.
It would additionally be useful if an authenticated test were able to cancel an existing test, such as if a currently running test were say 15 minutes long and even getting to the front of the queue would not help enough.
