The Tanium Server installer's account database permissions must be reduced to an appropriate level.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Creating the "tanium" and "tanium_archive" databases through the Tanium Server installer program or using the database to create SQL scripts requires Sysadmin-level permissions. Once the databases have been created, the Tanium Server services must be configured to execute under an account that holds at least the Database Owner (dbo) role on both databases. Post-installation, if the account used to configure the Tanium Server services to access the remote SQL database server holds only the Database Owner role, rather than the sysadmin role, grant this account the View Server State permission on the SQL Server. This dynamic management view enables the Tanium Server to access data faster than the dbo role alone.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
