Interface IssueFrontOfficeAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface IssueFrontOfficeAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to re-assign Issues to FrontOffice objects. An Issue may appear in multiple FrontOffice objects and removing the last reference to an Issue is the equivalent of deleting it. Each FrontOffice may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of an Issue to another FrontOffice is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).
