Used Byosid.authorization.AuthorizationManager
osid.authorization.AuthorizationProxyManager
Description

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).

MethodcanAssignFunctions
Description

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.

Returnboolean false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise
Compliancemandatory This method must be implemented.
MethodcanAssignFunctionsToVault
