OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerEnablerDistributorAssignmentSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerEnablerDistributorAssignmentSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods to re-assign `BrokerEnabler` to `Distributor` mappings. A `BrokerEnabler` may appear in multiple `Distributor` catalogs and removing the last reference to a `BrokerEnabler` is the equivalent of deleting it. Each `Distributor` may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it. Adding a reference of a BrokerEnabler to another Distributor is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its `Id` ).
Method	canAssignBrokerEnablers
Description	Tests if this user can alter broker enabler/distributor 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. T` his is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer assignment operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if mapping is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
