[Contrib: Evaluation System] how is the hierarchy supposed to work?

[Adam Marshall]

Ellen (et al)

It looks like we have a real need for the hierarchy. We have the classic situation whereby 'top brass' would like to distribute a survey and allow depts to add their own questions.

I was asked how easy it will be to compare the responses (across the departments / courses) of the common questions. 

I can see that people higher up can see responses but how does the comparison across multiple surveys that are derived from the same master template?

Could somebody say some words?
