After feedback from many of you in the thread above, I can confirm that there are some user configurations where users without an explicit admin role are seeing Item Banks. 

Specifically, this is caused by the process to apply account roles to a user, which marks the user as an admin.

Therefore, as of this post, we are temporarily disabling the feature flag for the Item Banks Management release. The standard Item Banks pages from within New Quizzes will still be available. New functionality in the June release will not be available at that time. 

A feature flag will be made available to institutions not impacted by the above configuration, so that they may enable while we address the above situation.

Update: Item Banks Management feature and the new permission are now available as of July, 20th 2021.

This update adds a new 'Item Banks- account manage' permission to Canvas to allow users to see every Item Bank for an account. The permission will automatically be included in the standard account admin role. You may remove the permission. However, please note that you must have 'Item Banks - account manage' to provision other roles with the permission. If you want a different role at your account to see every Item Bank, you must add the permission for the other role prior to removing from account admin role.

This means when the update goes out, the behavior will be the SAME AS PREVIOUSLY but now allows you greater control over who should see all item banks. You must take the above action if you need to see different behavior.
