Role-based system access must be configured to least privileged access to Tanium Server functions through the Tanium interface.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>User accessibility to various Tanium Server functions performed via the console can be restricted by User Roles. Those User Roles are: Administrator, Read Only User, Question Author, Action User, Action Approver, Action Author, Sensor Author, Action/Sensor Author, and Content Administrator. These are already configured in Tanium. System access should be reviewed periodically to verify that all Tanium users are assigned the appropriate role, with the least privileged access possible to perform assigned tasks being the recommended best practice. Consider removing users that have not logged onto the system within a predetermined time frame.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
