Description

This session provides methods to re-assign profile entries to Profile. A ProfileEntry may map to multiple Profile objects and removing the last reference to a ProfileEntry is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Profile may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Moving or adding a reference of a ProfileEntry to another Profile is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).
