Superintendent to check detailed roster sent over (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curator

'superintendent' is the definition.
(a curator manages or superintends a museum)

'check detailed roster sent over' is the wordplay.
'check' becomes 'curb' (both can mean to limit or control).
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the word must be end-less or 'de-tailed').
'roster' becomes 'rota' (rota is a kind of roster).
'sent over' is a reversal indicator.
'rota' backwards is 'ator'.
'curb' with its last letter removed is 'cur'.
'cur'+'ator'='CURATOR'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for curator that I've seen before include "Keeper of a collection" , "man in the museum?" , "museum boss" , "Custodian - caretaker" , "Artistic director" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
