Question Bank Supervisor: Role & Responsibilities

Question Bank Supervisor grants full Question Bank access plus the submission review queue — it's the role for someone whose main job is curating the bank and acting as its quality gate, without needing broader organization access.

Updated 2026/08/07

Question Bank Supervisor is the role for someone whose job is the question bank itself: authoring, organizing, and — when the submission workflow is in use — reviewing what outside contributors send in. It grants full Question Bank access plus the review queue, without handing over anything else in the organization.

What Access It Grants

  • Full Question Bank access — browsing, creating, editing, organizing questions, exactly like an Editor or Manager would have.
  • Submission Reviews — the Pending and Resolved queues, with the Approve, Revise, and Reject actions.

Admin, Manager, and Editor also see Submission Reviews — review access comes bundled with their broader organization permissions. Question Bank Supervisor exists for the case where someone should get exactly that combination (bank + reviews) without any of the rest of those roles' organization-wide access.

Duties as the Quality Gate

  • Review promptly. Contributors are blocked from resubmitting or knowing where they stand until a submission is acted on — a stale Pending queue stalls every author behind it.
  • Give feedback that's actually actionable. Both Revise and Reject require a message; write it so the contributor knows exactly what to fix or exactly why it was declined — not just "needs work."
  • Get the directory right on Approve. Approving is also the moment to set the question's real folder, tags, language, and labels — whatever the contributor's submission carried over is what ships if you don't override it.
  • Be the actual gate, not a rubber stamp. Approval publishes the submission's content exactly as written — there is no supervisor edit step, so a question with a fixable content issue should go back as Revise, not be approved with the intent to fix it later.

See Reviewing & Approving Submissions for the moment-to-moment mechanics of the review queue.
