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 functional roles, a combination of User Role(s), and Content Set(s) assigned through User Group membership. Functional roles are assigned to users via Active Directory Group membership. System access should be reviewed periodically to verify that all Tanium users are assigned the appropriate functional 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>
