Privileges in ArcGIS Online should give more possibilities for data/map management like a way to "centralize" things that multiple users can update/manage. ArcGIS Online is good to share contents with other within the organization (for mapping), but it's lacking of functionalities for data. For instance, it's currently possible to "overwrite an hosted feature layers" that was added using ArcGIS Online. That can be done for web layer that you own, but you can also overwrite an existing web layer owned by someone else (if role of the other user is set to Administrator).

Things that could be great:
- In addition to each user "My Content", should have a "My Organization Content" available to all (or through privileges/groups)
- Be able to overwrite content of another user from AGOL or ArcGIS Pro (through a My Organization Content or see other shared user folders/items)

Please, please, please ESRI - make this a feature!
I have multiple datasets that we have to keep static and post to AGOL weekly.  If I'm the only one of the team that can do it - that is every Friday afternoon gone - and then that doesn't allow when I get sick.

I need certain members of my team allowed to overwrite, so that we can pass the weekly project around to who has time at the moment, or to allow for the times that I am not in office.

Right now our current work around is that they can take ownership each week, overwrite, and then change ownership back.  This is clumsy and takes sooo much more time and then if they forget to put it back on my account, the next person has to spend even more time finding where it went!  Also it allows the chance for things to be grabbed that should not be grabbed by anyone.
