- Within their own question group, Question Submitters see all drafted, submitted and answered questions if they have access to the question reference.
- Question Submitters cannot reassign questions that have been assigned to them. Either they submit the question or delete it and the Question Drafter creates a new question and assigns it to the correct Question Submitter.
- Question Submitters' names are visible to own group members and the Q&A Admins.
