Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Qualifiers to Vaults. A Qualifier may map to multiple Vaults and removing the last reference to a Qualifier 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 Qualifier to another Vault is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).

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
