Description
Schema Diff is a great tool - I did not find a better one in the open source universe. I'm using it and I've filed some bugs in the past 3 years.
Describe the solution you'd like
What I'm missing to a full DB schema compare is:
Also calculate the Difference of global database objects, i. e. what pg_dumpall --globals-only would dump; that is: roles and tablespaces.
Describe alternatives you've considered
pgadmin does not offer alternatives.

Research direction
Start by locating pgAdmin's Schema Diff implementation and reviewing PostgreSQL's pg_dumpall --globals-only output for roles and tablespaces. Done means Schema Diff reports differences for both types of global database objects.
