feature tenant feed view global search view scope limited to your tenant all available data sources across all the flare leaks database depth limited to 10k credentials per single leak all credentials across all the flare leaks use case tenant specific monitoring broad, cross tenant investigations filtering date range, identifier scope, password policy, source type password policy, source, type, etc related articles
