Discussion

Computer Groups allow a site running Tanium to assign responsibility of specific Computer Groups to specific Tanium console users. By doing so, a desktop administrator, for example, will not have the ability to enforce an action against a high-visibility server. For large sites, it is crucial to have the Computer Groups. While a smaller site might not seem to require Computer Groups, creating them provides for a cleaner implementation. All sites will be required to have some kind of Computer Groups configured other than the default "All Computers".

1. Using a web browser on a system that has connectivity to the Tanium Application, access the Tanium Application web user interface (UI) and log on with multifactor authentication.
  
2. Click "Administration" on the top navigation banner.
  
3. Select the "Computer Groups" tab.
  
4. Under the "Name" column, verify organization-specific computer groups match organization-defined list in the system security plan (SSP). 
  
If site- or organization-specific computer groups do not match or exist, this is a finding.
