Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Docets to CourseCatalogs . A Docet may map to multiple CourseCatalogs and removing the last reference to a Docet 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 a Docet to another CourseCatalog is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).
