Interface PositionRealmAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface PositionRealmAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to re-assign Positions to Bilings. A Position may map to multiple Realms and removing the last reference to a Position is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Realm may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

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

Method Detail

canAssignPositions

boolean canAssignPositions()

Tests if this user can alter position/realm 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 lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignPositionsToRealm

boolean canAssignPositionsToRealm(Id realmId)

Tests if this user can alter position/realm 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.

Parameters:

realmId - the Id of the Realm

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - realmId is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableRealmIds

IdList getAssignableRealmIds(Id realmId)
                             throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of realms including and under the given realm node in which any position can be assigned.

Parameters:

realmId - the Id of the Realm

Returns:

list of assignable realm Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - realmId is null

getAssignableRealmIdsForPosition

IdList getAssignableRealmIdsForPosition(Id realmId,
                                      Id positionId)
                                        throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of realms including and under the given realm node in which a specific position can be assigned.

Parameters:

realmId - the Id of the Realm

positionId - the Id of the Position

Returns:

list of assignable realm Ids

assignPositionToRealm

void assignPositionToRealm(Id positionId,
                         Id realmId)

unassignPositionFromRealm

void unassignPositionFromRealm(Id positionId,
                             Id realmId)
