OSID - osid.subscription.rules.DispatchProcessorPublisherAssignmentSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.subscription.rules.DispatchProcessorPublisherAssignmentSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.subscription.rules.SubscriptionRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.subscription.rules.SubscriptionRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods to re-assign `DispatchProcessor` to `Publisher` mappings. A `DispatchProcessor` may appear in multiple `Publisher` catalogs and removing the last reference to a `DispatchProcessor` is the equivalent of deleting it. Each `Publisher` may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it. Adding a reference of a `DispatchProcessor` to another `Publisher is n` ot a copy operation (eg: does not change its `Id` ).
Method	canAssignDispatchProcessors
Description	Tests if this user can alter dispatch processor/publisher 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.
Method	canAssignDispatchProcessorToPublisher

Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	unassignDispatchProcessorFromPublisher
Description	Removes a `DispatchProcessor` from a `Publisher` .
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`dispatchProcessorId`	the `Id` of the `DispatchProcessor`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`publisherId`	the `Id` of the `Publisher`
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`dispatchProcessorId` or `publisherId` not found or `dispatchProcessorId` not assigned to `publisherId`
