Interfaceosid.inquiry.ResponseInquestAssignmentSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Responses to Inquest mappings. A Response may appear in multiple Inquest objects and removing the last reference to a Response is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Inquest may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of a Response to another Inquest is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).

MethodcanAssignResponses
Description

Tests if this user can alter response/inquest mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping 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 assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Returnboolean false if response is not authorized, true otherwise
CompliancemandatoryThis method must be implemented.
