Title

Documentation identifying Tanium console users and their respective User Roles must be maintained. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

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. Users who have been removed from the documentation should no longer be configured as a Tanium Console User. Consider removing users that have not logged onto the system within a predetermined time frame. When using Active Directory synchronization, as is required by this STIG, User Roles assignments are via the AD Sync connector. AD security groups correlate, one to one, to Tanium User Roles. To change a Tanium user's User Role, their Active Directory account needs to be moved to the AD security group that correlates with the applicable User Role.

Check Content

Consult with the Tanium System Administrator to review the documented list of Tanium users. The users' respective, approved roles, as well as the correlated Active Directory security group for the User Roles, must be documented. If the site does not have the Tanium users and their respective, approved roles and AD security groups documented, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Prepare and maintain documentation identifying the Tanium console users and their respective User Roles and AD security groups.
