Description

This session provides methods to re-assign VoteEnabler to Polls mappings. A VoteEnabler may appear in multiple Polls catalogs and removing the last reference to a VoteEnabler is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Polls may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

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