Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yeah I saw there is "systeminfo" page (System in the settings menu) where you can see some basic system statistics. I quite like this and wanted some other privileged users of my Nextcloud to use it, too.
Describe the solution you'd like
The admin delegation feature exists, but not for that system info, where IMHO it would be more than helpful. Because these are "non-critical" settings aka very likely no "possible privilege escalations" (it's readonly after all)…
Describe alternatives you've considered
Yeah I know I can create an API and let other users use this, as it has been requested and mentioned before, but for that I need an additional software like Prometheus or so.
I want that simple page that is enough for many users though.

Research direction
Start with the systeminfo page in the serverinfo repository and compare its access handling with the documented admin delegation feature. Trace how delegated administrators are recognized for this read-only page. Done means delegated administrators can open the systeminfo page while its existing monitoring information remains unchanged.
