Description

This session provides methods to re-assign ActivityUnits to CourseCatalogs . An ActivityUnit may appear in multiple CourseCatalogs and removing the last reference to an ActivityUnit is the equivalent of deleting it. Each CourseCatalog may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of an ActivityUnit to another CourseCatalog is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).

MethodcanAssignActivityUnits

This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Returnbooleanfalse if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise
