Description

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

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