OSID - osid.financials.posting.PostBusinessAssignmentSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.financials.posting.PostBusinessAssignmentSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.financials.posting.FinancialsPostingManager`
Used By	`osid.financials.posting.FinancialsPostingProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods to re-assign `Posts` to `Businesses`. A `Post` may appear in multiple `Businesses` and removing the last reference to a `Post` 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 a `Post` to another `Business` is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its `Id`).
Method	canAssignPosts
Description	Tests if this user can alter post/business mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping methods in this session will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED`. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer assignment operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if mapping is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
