OSID - osid.course.registration.RegistrationAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.course.registration.RegistrationAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `Registrations.` The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. `OsidForms` are requested for each create or update and may not be reused. Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a `Registration,` a `RegistrationForm` is requested using `getRegistrationFormForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `RegistrationForm` will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the `RegistrationForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `RegistrationForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `RegistrationForms` are requested to the `RegistrationForm` `Id` that is to be updated using `getRegistrationFormForUpdate().` Similarly, the `RegistrationForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `RegistrationForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `Registrations.` To unmap a `Registration` from the current `CourseCatalog,` the `RegistrationCourseCatalogAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `RegistrationForm` itself thus removing it from all known `CourseCatalog` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned Id.
Method	getCourseCatalogId
Description	Gets the `CourseCatalog` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `CourseCatalog Id` associated with this session
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getCourseCatalog
Description	Gets the `CourseCatalog` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.course.CourseCatalog`		the course catalog
Errors	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
Errors	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure

Method	canCreateRegistrations
Description	Tests if this user can create `Registrations.` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating a `Registration` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer create operations to an unauthorized user.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if `Registration` creation is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canCreateRegistrationWithRecordTypes
Description	Tests if this user can create a single `Registration` using the desired record types. While `CourseRegistrationManager.getRegistrationRecordTypes()` can be used to examine which records are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific `Registration.` Providing an empty array tests if a `Registration` can be created with no records.
Parameters	`osid.type.Type[]`	`registrationRecordTypes`	array of registration record types
Return	`boolean`		`true` if `Registration` creation using the specified record `Types` is supported, `false` otherwise
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`registrationRecordTypes` is `null`
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getRegistrationFormForCreate
Description	Gets the registration form for creating new registrations. A new form should be requested for each create transaction.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`activityBundleId`	the `Id` of the activity bundle
	`osid.id.Id`	`resourceId`	the `Id` of the student
	`osid.type.Type[]`	`registrationRecordTypes`	array of registration record types
Return	`osid.course.registration.RegistrationForm`		the registration form
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`activityBundleId` or `resourceId` not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`activityBundleId,` `resourceId,` or `registrationRecordTypes` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
	UNSUPPORTED		unable to get form for requested record types
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	createRegistration
Description	Creates a new `Registration.`
Parameters	`osid.course.registration.RegistrationForm`	`registrationForm`	the form for this `Registration`
Return	`osid.course.registration.Registration`		the new `Registration`
Errors	ILLEGAL_STATE		`registrationForm` already used in a create transaction
	INVALID_ARGUMENT		one or more of the form elements is invalid
	NOT_FOUND		`registrationForm` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
	UNSUPPORTED		`registrationForm` did not originate from `getRegistrationFormForCreate()`
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canUpdateRegistrations
Description	Tests if this user can update `Registrations.` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known updating a `Registration` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer update operations to an unauthorized user.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if `Registration` modification is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getRegistrationFormForUpdate
Description	Gets the registration form for updating an existing registration. A new registration form should be requested for each update transaction.

Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canDeleteRegistrations
Description	Tests if this user can delete `Registrations.` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known deleting a `Registration` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer delete operations to an unauthorized user.

Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	aliasRegistration
Description	Adds an `Id` to a `Registration` for the purpose of creating compatibility. The primary `Id` of the `Course` is determined by the provider.
