OSID - osid.provisioning.ProvisionDistributorAssignmentSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.ProvisionDistributorAssignmentSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.ProvisioningManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.ProvisioningProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods to re-assign `Provisions` to `Distributor` mappings. A `Provision` may appear in multiple `Distributor` objects and removing the last reference to a `Provision` is the equivalent of deleting it. Each `Distributor` may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it. Adding a reference of a `Provision` to another `Distributor` is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its `Id`).
Method	canAssignProvisions
Description	Tests if this user can alter provision/distributor 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 provisioning is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canAssignProvisionsToDistributor
Description	Tests if this user can alter provision/distributor 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`.

Method	getAssignableDistributorIds
Description	Gets a list of distributors including and under the given distributor node in which any provision can be assigned.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`distributorId`	the `Id` of the `Distributor`

Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`distributorId` is `null`
Errors	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getAssignableDistributorIdsForProvision
Description	Gets a list of distributors including and under the given distributor node in which a specific provision can be assigned.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`distributorId`	the `Id` of the `Distributor`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`provisionId`	the `Id` of the `Provision`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of assignable distributor `Ids`
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`distributorId` or `provisionId` is `null`
Errors	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	assignProvisionToDistributor
Description	Adds an existing `Provision` to a `Distributor`.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`provisionId`	the `Id` of the `Provision`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`distributorId`	the `Id` of the `Distributor`
Errors	ALREADY_EXISTS		`provisionId` is slready assigned to `distributorId`
	NOT_FOUND		`provisionId` or `distributorId` not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`provisionId` or `distributorId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	unassignProvisionFromDistributor
Description	Removes a `Provision` from a `Distributor`.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`provisionId`	the `Id` of the `Provision`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`distributorId`	the `Id` of the `Distributor`
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`provisionId` or `distributorId` not found or `provisionId` not assigned to `distributorId`
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`provisionId` or `distributorId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	reassignProvisionToDistributor
Description	Moves a `Provision` from one `Distributor` to another. Mappings to other `Distributors` are unaffected.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`provisionId`	the `Id` of the `Provision`
	`osid.id.Id`	`fromDistributorId`	the `Id` of the current `Distributor`
	`osid.id.Id`	`toDistributorId`	the `Id` of the destination `Distributor`
Errors	ALREADY_EXISTS		`provisionId` already assigned to `toDistributorId`
