OSID - osid.hold.rules.IssueEnablerAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.hold.rules.IssueEnablerAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.hold.rules.HoldRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.hold.rules.HoldRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `IssueEnablers`. 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 an `IssueEnabler`, an `IssueEnablerForm` is requested using `getIssueEnablerFormForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `IssueEnablernForm` 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 `IssueEnablerForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `IssueEnablernForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `IssueEnablernForms` are requested to the `IssueEnabler` `Id` that is to be updated using `getIssueEnablerFormForUpdate()`. Similarly, the `IssueEnablerForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `IssueEnablerForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `IssueEnablers`. To unmap an `IssueEnabler` from the current `Oubliette`, the `IssueEnablerOublietteeAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `IssueEnabler` itself thus removing it from all known `Oubliette` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned `Id`.

Method	canCreateIssueEnablerWithRecordTypes
Description	Tests if this user can create a single `IssueEnabler` using the desired record types. While `Hold.rulesManager.getIssueEnablerRecordTypes()` can be used to examine which records are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific `IssueEnabler`. Providing an empty array tests if an `IssueEnabler` can be created with no records.

Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getIssueEnablerFormForCreate
Description	Gets the issue enabler form for creating new issue enablers. A new form should be requested for each create transaction.

Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`issueEnablerRecordTypes` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request

	UNSUPPORTED		`issueEnablerForm` did not originate from `getIssueEnablerFormForCreate()`
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canUpdateIssueEnablers
Description	Tests if this user can update `IssueEnablers`. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known updating an `IssueEnabler` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.
