It cannot be done for the undo, because undo records store the previous values (sort of) for the rows. Any transaction with enough privilege to modify the table can modify the rows in the table, regardless of the schema that initiated it. There must be the place that RDBMS will look for the modifications of the table, if it needs a read consistent block or if rollback is needed. That space cannot depend on the schema, only on the table. Process owned by SYSTEM schema can delete all rows in the table SCOTT.EMP. If the schema SCOTT is allowed its own undo tablespace, where will a process owned by user HR, who incidentally needs the old rows because of the read consistency, look for the old rows? In the SCOTT undo tablespace or in the SYSTEM undo tablespace?
Temporary tablespaces are different. If you need to perform a hash algorithm or a sort algorithm, that's only work space, nobody else will ever need it.
