Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Courses to CourseCatalogs. A Course may appear in multiple CourseCatalogs and removing the last reference to a Course 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 a Course to another CourseCatalog is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
