View Assets Not Assigned to an Access Group

Tenable is retiring access groups. Moving forward, Tenable recommends that you use permissions to manage user and group access to resources on your Tenable Vulnerability Management instance and that you convert your existing access groups into permission configurations. For more information, see Transition to Permission Configurations.

Required User Role: Administrator

If an asset does not match any access group rules, Tenable Vulnerability Management does not assign the asset to any access group. These unassigned assets are only visible to users in the All Assets group. If your organization limits membership in the All Assets group, users who are not members of the All Assets group are unable to see these unassigned assets, but this limited visibility may not be immediately obvious to them. If you are a member of the All Assets group, you can use a filter to identify these unassigned assets.

To view assets that are not assigned to an access group:

  1. In the upper-left corner, click the Menu button.

    The left navigation plane appears.

  2. In the left navigation plane, in the Asset View section, click Assets.

    The Assets page appears.

  3. Create a filter with the following settings:

    • Category: Belongs to Access Group
    • Operator: is equal to
    • Value: false

  4. Click Apply.

    The assets table updates to display all assets that are not assigned to an access group.
