Interfaceosid.mapping.path.rules.SignalEnablerMapAssignmentSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

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

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

MethodcanAssignSignalEnablers
Description

Tests if this user can alter signal enabler/map 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 lookup operations to unauthorized users.

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