Force stops a scan. A force stop aborts all the scan's tasks and updates the scan status to aborted.
You can only force stop a Nessus scanner scan that has a status of stopping or publishing. For more information about scan statuses, see Scan Status.
Requires SCAN OPERATOR [24] user permissions and CAN EXECUTE [32] scan permissions. See Permissions.
