OSID - osid.voting.VotePollsAssignmentSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.voting.VotePollsAssignmentSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.voting.VotingManager`
Used By	`osid.voting.VotingProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods to re-assign `Votes` to `Polls`. A `Vote` may map to multiple `Polls` objects and removing the last reference to a `Vote` is the equivalent of deleting it. Each `Polls` may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it. Moving or adding a reference of a `Vote` to another `Polls` is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its `Id`).
Method	canAssignVotes
Description	Tests if this user can alter vote/polls 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 mapping is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canAssignVotesToPolls
