Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Addresses to AddressBooks. An Address may map to multiple AddressBooks and removing the last reference to an Address is the equivalent of deleting it. Each AddressBook may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of an Address to another AddressBook is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
