Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Persons to Bilings. A Person may map to multiple Realms and removing the last reference to a Person is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Realm may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of a Person to another Realm is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
