Description	This session exchanges an existing provision for a request for another provision via the queue. The data for create and update is provided via the `RequestForm.`

Method	canCreateRequestsInExchange
Description	Tests if this user can create `Requests.` A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating a `Request` will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer create operations to an unauthorized user.

Method	canCreateRequestWithRecordTypesInExchange
