    @George_Stephen who do you think should have access to the Administration Space? Should it contain information on objects in people's personal Spaces? Also what is the problem you are trying to solve by having these lists of objects?

    Here is the trail where I first suggested this.

    Basically everyone with Admin access should have access to the Administration Space. This should contain information including personal space. Eg: if someone created a dataset named MARA in their personal space, then we cannot define the main SAP table with the same name anywhere else. There should be an easy way to find out who defined this table to advise him to change the name.

    Here's some of the things I'd like to get from an "Admin" view:

    1. To help with scheduling maintenance / upgrades
      1. List of jobs actively running across environments
      2. List of users currently / recently logged in, across environments
      3. Ability to notify recently logged-in users of maintenance windows
    2. To help with disk space management:
      1. See what datasets are loaded multiple times
      2. Largest datasets that may be taking up a lot of disk space and not needed (ie not refreshed for a long time)
    3. To manage external systems / credentials:
      1. See details of external systems across all spaces
      2. Which credentials have recently failed
      3. View duplicated credentials or external system credentials
