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

When I have many environments in my Data Studio instance, it becomes difficult to manage users and their roles. I have a specific scenario where I want to know how many "Designer" user licenses are in use, which users they are assigned to, and in which Environments. Currently it's a tedious process to find this out:
- Figure out which roles use a "designer" license
- For each environment, manually record all active users with these roles
- Collate the list (so we don't double count the same user) and get the count
