Description

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

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