Manage to specify bishop's position of authority (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'manage' is the definition.
(I know that manage can be written as oversee)

'specify bishop's position of authority' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'position' could be 'over' (I have seen 'superior position' mean 'over' so perhaps 'position' could also mean 'over') and 'over' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'see' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oversee that I've seen before include "Keep a check on" , "Administer" , "Supervise like ganger" , "Act as tutor" , "risk eyestrain?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
