Interface ProvisionDistributorAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface ProvisionDistributorAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

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

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