8.7 Question Authors

The Author(s) function allows a risr/assess User to be identified as an author (or owner) of an item, even when the item was created by another User. The Author(s) is (are) bound to an item across all versions and variants throughout the Items history.

This functionality allows for more granular ownership and management of Items in risr/assess Question Bank as the Author(s) can be defined by a User, this means that Items can be correctly identified by, and assigned to, their Author(s); rather than the risr/assess User inputting them in to the Question Bank.

Each new version of an Item inherits the Author(s), but if an Author is changed at any point in any version of the Item then the updated Author is applied to all versions retrospectively.
