The Tanium application must be configured to use Tanium User Groups in a manner consistent with the model outlined in the environment's system documentation.
From: Tanium 7.x Security Technical Implementation Guide (V2R3)
Description

Misaligned implementation of User Groups grants excessive access and results in potential compromise of "need-to-know" for information access.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

3. Click "Administration" on the top navigation banner.
4. Under "Permissions", select "User Groups".
