Some admin functions are necessary to carry out at the correct level, such as creating a project-level security group. Selecting the correct admin cog can be confusing sometimes, for example when the project, site, and enterprise admin cogs are lined up next to each other. A customer suggested to me that colour-coding the admin cogs would make it much easier to ascertain which cog you were using.

I would go further - there should only ever be one Administration cog open at one time - when you open another, the other collapses. Also, I would add the project name to the tab, e.g. "Administration (1001 - Blenheim Square)" since the project name is often way off the top of the screen. Alternatively, perhaps Project Admins should have the ability to change a setting to make the Administration tab appear at the top of the Enterprise/Site/Project Tree instead of at the bottom (which is the most counter-intuitive place for it to sit).
