Description

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

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