Interfaceosid.resourcing.CompetencyFoundryAssignmentSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

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

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

MethodcanAssignCompetencies
Description

Tests if this user can alter competency/foundry 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 mapping is not authorized, true otherwise
CompliancemandatoryThis method must be implemented.
