OSID - osid.contact.ContactAddressBookSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.contact.ContactAddressBookSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides methods to retrieve `Contact` to `AddressBook` mappings. A `Contact` may appear in multiple `AddressBooks.` Each `AddressBook` may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it. This lookup session defines several views: comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
Method	canLookupContactAddressBookMappings
Description	Tests if this user can perform lookups of contact/address book mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup methods in this session will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intendedas a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if looking up mappings is not authorized, `true` otherwise
