You need to ensure that users do not have direct access to the tables or
queries. All data entry should be via forms.
You would need a field in the relevant table (a yes/no field, or a datetime
field for 'released').
In your form where data is editted, you would make the control bound to this
field only visible for the Admin/supervisor user (note that you should not
use the built-in Admin user).
In the open event for the form, you would check the status of this field and
set the allow edits property for the form to no accordingly.
