What it does
Checks public IPs only for assets at or below this privilege tier (0 is most critical).
When set
Lowering it, for example to 1, checks only the most critical assets, cutting Shodan lookups and cost but leaving lower-tier exposure unchecked.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 3: all tiers (0 to 3).
Risk and how to reverse it
Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
Requires
Read by: publicip.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: To control Shodan cost on a small plan.
