When it comes to controlling your environment it would be better to create automations in all spaces. So you can choose to create the automation the managed or shared space. Priority has the managed space so you can set it up when developing.
We are working on the design to add automations (and connections) to shared spaces where users have 'can edit' or 'can view' permissions to facilitate both collaboration and consumption use cases.
This feature would also be required by our 1700 employee organization. We as admins need an easy way to see automations created by other admins, excluding automations created by random employees.
Adding automations to a shared space is one of our key priorities in the upcomming quarters.
An admin can always move an automation to another user from the MC, and you can share the automation source code (workspace) through the shared template feature or a git backup (example templates were released yesterday).
any news about this feature? In particular, we need to share on-demand execution of automations. As far as I know, currently only the owner of the automation is allowed to run the automation on-demand ( typically through a button on the app ), which is a heavy limitation.
