OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.QueueConstrainerEnablerAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.QueueConstrainerEnablerAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `QueueConstrainerEnablers`. 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 a `QueueConstrainerEnabler`, a `QueueConstrainerEnablerForm` is requested using `getQueueConstrainerEnablerFormForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `QueueConstrainerEnablerForm` 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 `QueueConstrainerEnablerForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `QueueConstrainerEnablerForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `QueueConstrainerEnablerForms` are requested to the `QueueConstrainerEnabler` `Id` that is to be updated using `getQueueConstrainerEnablerFormForUpdate()`. Similarly, the `QueueConstrainerEnablerForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `QueueConstrainerEnablerForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `QueueConstrainerEnablers`. To unmap a `QueueConstrainerEnabler` from the current `Distributor`, the `QueueConstrainerEnablerDistributorAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `QueueConstrainerEnabler` itself thus removing it from all known `Distributor` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned `Id`.

Method	canUpdateQueueConstrainerEnablers
Description	Tests if this user can update `QueueConstrainerEnablers`. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known updating a `QueueConstrainerEnabler` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.
