Description

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