Description

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

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