We had one meeting about this and it was discussed that cross tenancy was
not requested for Metrics components but it was requested for Alerting.

Is there any change on this since that meeting ?

Multiple components beyond Metrics / Alerts or the security filters ? Can
you ellaborate this, please ?

Yes. Please, could you prepare some info you would need from Alerting
component ?
I.e. tenant formats or other related info different from the current logic.

The /tenants endpoint provides all the tenants of the system.
That was why in the previous meeting we proposed the /admin endpoint.

Renaming and endpoint is not a problem but as this is already released we
are going to maintain it for backwards compatibility.
(And we can mark it as deprecated for following versions).

Suggestions for other names are welcome.

Please, lets move on this, as this feature is important for Alerting users.
