Description

This session provides methods to re-assign ActionEnabler to System mappings. An ActionEnabler may appear in multiple System objects and removing the last reference to an ActionEnabler is the equivalent of deleting it. Each System may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

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

MethodcanAssignActionEnablers
Description

Tests if this user can alter action enabler/system 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 lookup operations to unauthorized users.

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