@DerekLaw , I have found this dashboard to be very helpful - Managing ArcGIS Online Content with ArcGIS Dashboards and ArcGIS Notebooks.

I have not seen a way to query for whether or not a dataset is marked as Authoritative or not.  This would be VERY HELPFUL.  It appears on the Overview page for the item immediately below the information about when the item was created and updated, and how many views have occurred.

Any insights?  Thanks!
