Description

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