Interface	osid.assessment.authoring.AssessmentPartBankSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides methods to retrieve `AssessmentPart` to `Bank` mappings. an `AssessmentPart` may appear in multiple `Bank` objects. Each bank may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it. This lookup session defines several views: comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
Method	canLookupAssessmentPartBankMappings
Description	Tests if this user can perform lookups of assessment part/bank 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.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if looking up mappings is not authorized, `true` otherwise
