Fix Recommendation

Access Active Directory with appropriate credentials.

For each User, where a synced account is in the Tanium console as a privileged user, adjust the user to an appropriate security group in Active Directory.

Verify, after syncing with Tanium, the non-privileged user account is no longer in a privileged role within Tanium.

Check Contents

Using a web browser on a system that has connectivity to the Tanium Application, access the Tanium Application web user interface (UI).

Click on the navigation button (hamburger menu) on the top left of the console.

Click on "Administration".

Select the "Users" tab.

Review each of the users listed and determine their Active Directory synced account.

Access one of the domain's Active Directory Domain Controller servers with a Domain Administrator account.

Review each of the Users for which a synced account is in the Tanium console as a user.

If any of the non-privileged Active Directory accounts have elevated privileges and are synced as a Tanium privileged account, this is a finding.
