OSID - osid.room.squatting.DeedAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.room.squatting.DeedAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `Deeds.` 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 a `Deed,` a `DeedForm` is requested using `getDeedFormForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `DeedForm` 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 `DeedForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `DeedForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `DeedForms` are requested to the `Deed` `Id` that is to be updated using `getDeedFormForUpdate().` Similarly, the `DeedForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `DeedForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `Deeds.` To unmap a `Deed` from the current `Campus,` the `DeedCampusAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `Deed` itself thus removing it from all known `Campus` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned Id.
Method	getCampusId
Description	Gets the `Campus` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Campus Id` associated with this session
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getCampus
Description	Gets the `Campus` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.room.Campus`		the campus

Method	canCreateDeeds
Description	Tests if this user can create `Deeds.` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating a `Deed` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may not wish to offer create operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if `Deed` creation is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canCreateDeedWithRecordTypes
Description	Tests if this user can create a single `Deed` using the desired record interface types. While `RoomSquattingManager.getDeedRecordTypes()` can be used to examine which record interfaces are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific `Deed.` Providing an empty array tests if a `Deed` can be created with no records.
Parameters	`osid.type.Type[]`	`deedRecordTypes`	array of deed record types
Return	`boolean`		`true` if `Deed` creation using the specified record `Types` is supported, `false` otherwise
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`deedRecordTypes` is `null`
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getDeedFormForCreate
Description	Gets the deed form for creating new deeds. A new form should be requested for each create transaction.

	`osid.type.Type[]`	`deedRecordTypes`	array of deed record types
Return	`osid.room.squatting.DeedForm`		the deed form
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`buildngId` or `resourceId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`buildngId, resourceId` , or `deedRecordTypes` is `null`

	INVALID_ARGUMENT		one or more of the form elements is invalid
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`deedForm` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
	UNSUPPORTED		`deedForm` did not originate from `getDeedFormForCreate()`
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canUpdateDeeds
Description	Tests if this user can update `Deeds.` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known updating a `Deed` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may not wish to offer update operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if `Deed` modification is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.

Method	canDeleteDeeds
Description	Tests if this user can delete `Deeds` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization.
