Interfaceosid.course.chronicle.CourseEntryCourseCatalogSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session provides methods to retrieve CourseEntry to CourseCatalog mappings. A CourseEntry may appear in multiple CourseCatalog objects. Each catalog 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
MethodcanLookupCourseCatalogMappings
Description

Tests if this user can perform lookups of course entry/course catalog 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 intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returnboolean false if looking up mappings is not authorized, true otherwise
CompliancemandatoryThis method must be implemented.
