Amazon Quick and Bedrock Knowledge Bases add real-time document-level access control for RAG
AWS published guidance on enforcing document-level access controls for enterprise RAG using Amazon Quick and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. The approach verifies user permissions directly with authoritative sources such as SharePoint, Google Drive, and Confluence at query time, rather than relying on pre-indexed permission copies, so answers only draw on documents each user is authorized to see.
