Understand the story
On October 8, 2026, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published an article announcing that AWS introduced real-time ACL (access control list) enforcement for Amazon Quick and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. This feature changes how permissions were previously handled in RAG retrieval, verifying permissions against authoritative data sources (such as Google Drive and SharePoint) directly when a user initiates a query, ensuring retrieval results align with the data source's actual access permissions and preventing unauthorized access.
