Tests if this user can create gradebook columns.

        A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A
        return of false indicates that it is known creating a gradebook
        column will result in a ``PermissionDenied``. This is intended
        as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer create
        operations to an unauthorized user.

        return: (boolean) - ``false`` if ``GradebookColumn`` creation is
                not authorized, ``true`` otherwise
        *compliance: mandatory -- This method must be implemented.*
