  • plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition

Tests if this user can perform lookups of race processor/polls mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup 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.
