Interface FunctionVaultAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface FunctionVaultAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to re-assign Functions to Vaults. A Function may map to multiple Vaults and removing the last reference to a Function is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Vault may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

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

Method Detail

canAssignFunctions

boolean canAssignFunctions()

Tests if this user can alter function/vault 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.

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignFunctionsToVault

boolean canAssignFunctionsToVault(Id vaultId)

Tests if this user can alter function/vault 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.

Parameters:

vaultId - the Id of the Vault

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - vaultId is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableVaultIds

IdList getAssignableVaultIds(Id vaultId)
                             throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of vault including and under the given vault node in which any function can be assigned.

Parameters:

vaultId - the Id of the Vault

Returns:

list of assignable vault Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - vaultId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableVaultIdsForFunction

IdList getAssignableVaultIdsForFunction(Id vaultId,
                                      Id functionId)
                                        throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of vault including and under the given vault node in which a specific function can be assigned.

Parameters:

vaultId - the Id of the Vault

functionId - the Id of the Function

Returns:

list of assignable vault Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - vaultId or functionId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignFunctionToVault

void assignFunctionToVault(Id functionId,
                         Id vaultId)
                           throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                  NotFoundException,
                                  OperationFailedException,
                                  PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing Function to a Vault.

Parameters:

functionId - the Id of the Function

vaultId - the Id of the Vault

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - functionId is already assigned to vaultId

NotFoundException - functionId or vaultId not found

NullArgumentException - functionId or vaultId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignFunctionFromVault

void unassignFunctionFromVault(Id functionId,
                             Id vaultId)
                               throws NotFoundException,
                                      OperationFailedException,
                                      PermissionDeniedException

Removes a Function from a Vault.

Parameters:

functionId - the Id of the Function

vaultId - the Id of the Vault

Throws:

NotFoundException - functionId or vaultId not found or functionId not assigned to vaultId

NullArgumentException - functionId or vaultId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

reassignFunctionToVault

void reassignFunctionToVault(Id functionId,
                           Id fromVaultId,
                           Id toVaultId)
                             throws NotFoundException,
                                    OperationFailedException,
                                    PermissionDeniedException

Moves a Function from one Vault to another. Mappings to other Vaults are unaffected.

Parameters:

functionId - the Id of the Function

fromVaultId - the Id of the current Vault

toVaultId - the Id of the destination Vault

Throws:

NotFoundException - functionId, fromVaultId, or toVaultId not found or functionId not mapped to fromVaultId

NullArgumentException - functionId, fromVaultId, or toVaultId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
