Rethinking access control for RAG with Amazon Quick and Amazon Bedrock
Document-level access control just became real-time in RAG. Amazon Quick and Bedrock Knowledge Bases now verify permissions at query time — not at indexing.
Why it matters
Enterprise RAG has a permission problem: knowledge bases ingest documents from SharePoint, Google Drive, Confluence with complex ACLs, but retrieval systems have historically enforced access after the fact or not at all. Amazon's real-time verification pattern closes that gap for practitioners building governed RAG systems.
