OSID - osid.inquiry.rules.AuditConstrainerEnablerAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.inquiry.rules.AuditConstrainerEnablerAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.inquiry.rules.InquiryRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.inquiry.rules.InquiryRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `AuditConstrainerEnablers`. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. `OsidForms` are requested for each create or update and may not be reused. Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an `AuditConstrainerEnabler`, an `AuditConstrainerEnablerForm` is requested using `getAuditConstrainerEnablerFormForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `AuditConstrainerEnablerForm` will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the `AuditConstrainerEnablerForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `AuditConstrainerEnablerForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `AuditConstrainerEnablerForms` are requested to the `AuditConstrainerEnabler` `Id` that is to be updated using `getAuditConstrainerEnablerFormForUpdate()`. Similarly, the `AuditConstrainerEnablerForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `AuditConstrainerEnablerForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `AuditConstrainerEnablers`. To unmap an `AuditConstrainerEnabler` from the current `Inquest`, the `AuditConstrainerEnablerInquestAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `AuditConstrainerEnabler` itself thus removing it from all known `Inquest` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned `Id`.
